1. I'm suspicious of the numbers, especially since

CDC was taken out of the picture. I also wonder how many people are being tested. I've heard there have been problems with testing, and suspect that they are testing less, which will yield lower numbers but more cases are out there uncounted Stupid rethugs.

I check a table posted on NPR, that lists average daily totals for the current and 3 prior weeks.
Last week Arizona averaged just over 3000 cases per day, down from almost 3500 the week before. Masks are not a statewide requirement, but many cities and retailers require them.

Still, I hope this signals a trend that cases are declining there. I live in NC, where we've seen slow but a steady increase, seems like forever. 3 weeks ago daily average was 1300 cases daily, this week we're at 2000+. We've required masks since June 26, just over 3 weeks. Maybe we'll start seeing a decline soon.
