[FRIAM] Local News not so good

Also, you can see that many states in the rt.live data show a bump around the 16th, some later toward the 19th. I grok the point about feeling symptoms then coming in, then wait for the test results. But we also have to factor in that many people who are infected won't come in and get tested at all. There's still a huge set of us who won't bother to go to the doctor with cold-like symptoms. And, all we're feeling are cold like symptoms, then it's possible the test bump you're seeing here are for people who get sick quicker, and get sicker. If 80% of us are asymptomatic and/or only get mild symptoms, it might *shorten* the time between Easter and the Easter bump in cases because it's only that 20% who get sick quicker and get sicker that populate the bump.

In any case, you're right to *wait*. Speculation can only be wild. I'm just offering some equally unfounded speculation to counter yours. >8^D

Remember most cases start (and often remain) pretty cold-like.  Still, there are more tests around, now, so the lag should be decreasing.
