It could also mean we are getting more experienced in managing our safe practices (e.g. masks, gloves, distancing). If its maskless/gloveless congregating then its cause for alarm. But if its shoppers, walkers and strollers wearing PPE then it could just mean proper adjustments are being made.

U need phone data to see where people have been prior to their positive test...It doesn't seem that difficult on its face, but you have to manage a shitload of data and connections between data points. Surprised google/apple haven't done this or been paid by the govt to do it...they know where everyone is all the time.Gov. Andrew Cuomo promises ‘contact tracing army’ for tri-state region; Connecticut ranks third in deaths per capita
Gov. Andrew Cuomo of New York promised Wednesday to build a “contact tracing army” in partnership with Connecticut and New Jersey and with help from billionaire Michael Bloomberg, as the region attempts to move past its coronavirus outbreak.
Cuomo said he has spoken to Gov. Ned Lamont as well as Gov. Phil Murphy of New Jersey about the plan, which will let authorities track the contacts of people infected with COVID-19 so those exposed can be isolated to prevent further spread of the virus.
Experts say mass contact tracing must be part of any plan to reopen schools and businesses as the coronavirus pandemic continues.
Cuomo said Bloomberg, the former New York City mayor and Democratic candidate for president, will help develop and implement the contact-tracing plan. Bloomberg has committed $10 million to the project, he said.
“How do we do it?” Cuomo said. “I don’t know, we’ve never done it before. Michael Bloomberg will design the program, design the training, he’s going to make a financial contribution also, put together an organization that’s going to help hire the people. ... This has to happen, you don’t have months to plan to do this, you have weeks to get this up and running.
Researchers from the University of Washington now estimate that Connecticut may be able to relax its social distancing after June 7 “with containment strategies that include testing, contact tracing, isolation, and limiting gathering size.”
Connecticut reports 2,109 new COVID-19 cases and 121 fatalities; deaths ‘still disturbingly high,’ says Gov. Ned Lamont
Coronavirus deaths in Connecticut remain “still disturbingly high,” with Connecticut among the top five states for cases and deaths per capita. The state is “by no means out of th…
I've read and heard media, as well as been told by a source I trust that net hospitalizations is the key stat. Positives:tests has been 1:3, so the 2k new cases is not necessarily a surprise. Studies have indicated that testing needs to triple before restrictions begin to ease. CT did that today. +23 net hospitalizations is a good sign.
I'm starting to think that is right. Daily hospitalizations would be a good number to track. Here's New York and it tells a story.
The negative bars below the baseline are compared to a baseline or the highest number? For example -734 hospitalizations are compared to what number?
I would think it means 734 more people left the hospital than came in.
I’m pretty sure it means 734 more patients were discharged than admitted that day
Maybe they could assist the state by helping UConn into a better conference like the B10 or ACC. They have actually hurt the state university all through conference re-alignment. But they built a studio for Lamont. Big whoop. Stop screwing UConn. That would be a meaningful contribution.
Are we trying to get out of the Big East already?
He was actually referring to highway traffic. He estimates traffic has doubled in the last two weeks. With the increase in traffic he has been busier with accidents. He said 2 weeks ago most of his time was sitting on the side of the highway looking for extreme speeders.It could also mean we are getting more experienced in managing our safe practices (e.g. masks, gloves, distancing).

In my community, I see more dog walkers, whole families out for a stroll (new experience!), women walking with babies, etc. now than I did weeks ago. No standing conversations though. They all have some sort of PPE. Just saying foot traffic is up.
Oh and the neighbors yards are looking much more manicured.
I think though the tell is road traffic. If the traffic maps (the rush hour ones) show increased activity that would mean something totally different in that people are traveling more as opposed to going outside.
Uh, yeah. Not that I think it will happen.
On a more serious note, I was tested to have covid and the result came out positive 3 weeks ago. It was a harrowing experience to say the least. It plays with your head especially since I've had no symptoms during this time. I was tested again and thankfully turned out to be negative but this experience is something I don't wish for on anyone. Who knows? Maybe my first test was a positive and the 2nd test was a false negative? It's been 2 weeks since my negative test. I will only be able to tell once we get a good antibody test going.
Glad to hear you’re doing better. How was the process to get tested? Especially without symptoms?
How did u mange to get tested if asymptotic? I would think u would be glad u cleared without any symptoms. No u can go about your business. My guess is if u donate plasma they will do the antibody test but I don’t know
