The sudden jump in new cases is simply b'cos testing was ramped to 15K. It confirms what I have always assumed. Despite the drop in detected cases, daily infections have been running probably at 2,000 a day.

What's more disturbing is the continued complacency and refusal to look at evidence or consider other views by the government + health authorities. They knew back in Jan that we had imported new variants. Response should have been to ramp up testing. They did the opposite.

It's completely wrong to blame the public for misbehaving. This is fundamentally a failure by the government to adopt a sound control strategy, driven by its abandonment of the Presidents' own Elimination Vision. Only govt action can stop the virus.
