Data being data, this article makes no sense. ok, we have doubled. Does that truly mean we have doubled or is that total number? 27 is what %? I am vaccinated so I do not believe in the anti vac. movement, but the data should be spelled out

@robertd, the numbers are a little confusing unless you have been regularly watching the numbers. Health departments typically provide a 7 day rolling average of NEWLY DETECTED cases. So we’re seeing a 27/12, or 2.25x (225%) multiplicative growth in the number of new cases in 2 weeks. Or a more than doubling, as stated in the article.
