Unpopular opinion here, but people aren't just randomly going to get tested now 3 months in to us really testing for COVID. They are going because they've found out they were around someone with it or they have symptoms of it. So tests going up now is not a good thing. Yes there are some folks now getting mandatory tests. But saying "oh tests are going up so obviously positives are going up" is not good, even though some say that proves this isn't as bad.

Us having a rush of new positive tests like this is not a good sign folks. Our % positive is the highest it's been since late April. I'm not sure we ever shut down things again like we did in Alabama, but you better believe that folks are looking at this right now wondering how bad thing could get. 2600 positive tests in 3 days is by far the highest 3 day total in Alabama by double any other 3 day total up to this point.

As an administrator at a public school and a parent who's a week away from having a newborn, this could cause some significant issues for us.
More people are going to continue to get it.... I'll say it again, it's not just going away.....don't know what else to say....
