These lower numbers have to be due to fewer tests. Can't have an increasing positivity rate and decline in the number of confirmed cases without that factored in. I haven't been tracking daily testing totals, but these two data sets would indicate that.

I also noticed that my county is not reporting antigen test results (the rapid testing).
