You are looking at Daily new cases, not percentages. So your case is not accurate, sorry. The more people we test the more test are going to come back positive, Texas increased its testing by 632% in April and that number is continuing to climb in May. This is a common fear tactic used by the media, they tell you new record high daily cases since Texas opened at 1500 but what they don't tell you is Texas did 20000 test yesterday which would put it at the average ( .07% ). Take here in Virginia for example, we are testing 10000 people a day but all the media wants to focus on are the 750 positive test.

GA actually has actually intentionally changed it's data presentation to the public to hide reality. The data you present there is, in fact, presented in a bogus way. Wish I were making this up, but as the result of numerous people complaining about recent errors in CV19 data presentation, the Governor's office actually issued a formal apology:

"DPH changed the graph Monday after more than a day of online mockery, public concern and a letter from a state representative. Gov. Brian Kemp’s office issued an apology and its spokespeople said they’d never make this kind of mistake again.

“Our mission failed. We apologize. It is fixed,” tweeted Candice Broce, a spokeswoman for the governor."

Also from the article:

"Others worry the data is being portrayed in a way that favors Kemp’s early easing of restrictions. A separate graph on DPH’s page has led readers to think that cases were dropping dramatically, even though lower case numbers were the result of a lag in data collection.

“I have a hard time understanding how this happens without it being deliberate,” said State Rep. Jasmine Clark, D-Lilburn, who received her doctorate in microbiology and molecular genetics at Emory University. “Literally nowhere ever in any type of statistics would that be acceptable.”

Georgia is in a much better place than it was a month ago

Also, again everyone screaming about a second wave in the fall and darkest winter in history look at whats going on in Australia. How come the media isn't reporting anything on that? Because it doesn't fit their fear narrative, Australia as a country had 11 cases yesterday and NZ had zero guess what THEY ARE IN FALL!

Here in Tennessee, they have been able to bounce the numbers by the positive tests coming back from the correctional facilities.

How exactly do those numbers impact the public at large?

I set in on a healthcare meeting the other day..... people are testing positive for up to thirty days after their first original positive test... they do not think people are able to still spread it that long.... I wish they would report more on hospitalizations which would give everyone a more accurate picture of the disease.

I don’t believe there enough of an interest in getting an accurate picture .. yet . There’s still a lot of politics to be played still .

What has happened is the DPH is backdating new cases to the actual day people started showing symptoms rather than the day people test positive since testing can be delayed for a variety of reasons. One of the big problems early on was that DPH Numbers were lagging behind the actual information.

I wonder what the suicide rate is from people not being able to pay their bills. I wonder how many people died from other diseases because they couldn’t get proper care. All this crap like social distancing and wearing gloves and masks are all about control

That's Pennsylvania. Here's Minnesota from their DOH page. Out of 638 deaths in the state 517 were from nursing homes. Nice touch with the asterisk. Knowing that number is way higher.

So out of almost 6M people 121 MN citizens have died that wasn't in nursing homes.

Yea, seeing 70-80% deaths in many states are nursing homes. Doesnt make it any less tragic but it does make it stupid to shut down states.
