                        The reason 5.5% is grounds for *tentative encouragement* is if growth is left unchecked, you don& #39;t get these weeks where the positivity rate drops a couple of %.
What you get is it increasing daily with no let-up, that was certainly the case in Belgium, Israel, Czech Republic.

                        The key word is "tentative".
Nobody is doing any celebration jigs at 5.5% positivity and 300.0+ per 100,000 14-day incidence.
The situation remains very precarious & infection is far too high.
But you& #39;d clearly take this 5.5% tentative encouragement over 10%+ worry.

                        The positivity rates throughout Europe are sky high, you& #39;re looking at 10% to 35% in many countries.
We were almost certainly heading for 10%+ so to somehow avoid hitting it and to drop back nearer 5% is encouraging.
Encouraging doesn& #39;t mean "hunky dory".

It can just as quickly increase if enough of society starts taking the piss.
a) 5.5% is still high
b) It can get worse quickly.
c) Nobody will breathe easier until we get down to 1%.

                        We have to stick to the basic measures to get this down.
-Hand washing
-Masks
-2 meters
-Cough into elbow (this is important and people forget).
-Flu vaccine
-Well ventilated rooms https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="â
