This is interesting because though I wasn’t paying constant attention, I don’t remember them reporting 18% positivity last summer.
But I do remember the early days where you could look at the positivity rates in July (for example) then later when you look at comparisons the July numbers were A LOT higher than reported in or right after July.

From the link: “As of July 14, weekly test positivity is just 4.8%, up about 1% from the previous week, per CDC data.Comparatively, the rate was 18% during the peak of last summer's wave.”

I realize there’s a bit of a delay in the reporting but it seemed a lot more sinister than that. It was like they wanted to show accurate numbers later, but not when people were trying to decide the risk at the time.

Yesterday at #PortlandNursery I had the heretofore unfamiliar experience of talking with an employee who was wearing a mask in an area where I was comfortable going without one. I literally can't remember that happening before since the start of #covid, so it looks like some people are really taking the #SummerSurge seriously.
