Arizona did another testing push over the last 7 days (since opening salons and restaurants). They did 27,430 tests and had 1,294 test positive. That 4.7% rate is the lowest the state has seen yet. I won't reiterate my feeling about making conclusions on low sample numbers - but people keep telling me that one of the important factors on re-opening things is a "slow down" in positive cases. Arizona has clearly been seeing that since April 24. Does that mean we should re-open casinos? Hell no. But, it is encouraging that things appear to be slowing down on all fronts (esp hospitals). Hopefully we don't try to run before walking and mess this good situation up.
