Been thinking a bit about where COVID-19 cases in Nevada are at, to put our decline into perspective. Phase 1 started May 9. The seven-day average of new cases reported each day hit a low of 81 on May 11. Cases started to slowly increase at the beginning of June.

Today we're sitting at a seven-day average of 262 new cases reported each day. The last time it was that low was June 19, when we were at 260 new cases each day. Before we started opening up, that number was no higher than ~150.

We've seen consistent declines in the number of new cases reported each day, so we may return to that 80-150 range soon. But we're not quite there yet. There's also a lot of concern from folks that there is going to be a Labor Day weekend spike. (Which would be too early to see.)

We're in a significantly better situation than we were in in July when 1,000+ new cases a day was the norm. By comparison, we had ~1,800 cases in the last seven days. But important to keep an eye on the numbers and see how the trajectory continues. We have not plateaued yet.
