Sunday was a NINE Green Arrow Day.

Summary for Week Ending September 6, 2020

Good Morning,

Sunday was a NINE Green Arrow Day; below are the particulars for Sunday.

New cases are continuing their favorable trend by dropping almost 40% since the week ended July 19, 2020. This marks the seventh consecutive week of the decreasing pattern. We stated more than a month ago; there was substantial evidence that the second wave has subsided, and these past week’s results further support our hypothesis.

There were almost 500,000 more tests for the last couple of weeks as schools, colleges, and universities opened. Many of the schools had mandatory testing to protect the children, teachers, and those others employed by school systems, thus causing the spike in testing. This is a good sign in that there are more tests and fewer cases.

More tests and fewer cases, that’s a good sign!

New Cases

New cases have dropped over the last seven weeks. That is a 39.2% reduction since the week ending July 19, 2020.

Tests

The US completed about 500,000 more tests last couple of weeks compared to the weeks before. We suspect that the mandatory test that schools, colleges and universities are requiring contributed to the spike in testing.
