Boils down to:

1) Hospitalizations, despite a brief uptick, are still trending downward
2) Younger age groups are the bulk of newer infections. Younger age groups don't appear to need hospitalization anywhere near as much as older ones.
3) Testing has increased consistently but positive rates have ticked up to average over 5% over the last week.

Those are good signs...for now. Trends are what is important and a few major factors are involved:

A) Memorial Day weekend
B) BLM Protests (last week+)
C) Reopening of Universal/SeaWorld (1st week of June)
D) Restaurants, retail, bars opening at full capacity now
E) DisneyWorld reopening - w/reduced attendance - July 11-14
