Virginia going back to Phase 2?


Heard on the radio this morning that Northam is speaking tomorrow and will likely either move VA back to phase 2 or modify phase 3 to be more strict than it currently is. Sounded like the numbers were getting worse. I just went to the VA Dept of Health's COVID website (linked below) and I guess they're using Positive Test % as their guide - does anybody know if that's the decision-making indicator? I see it's gone from around 6.0% to 6.8% over the last 10 says or so.

Outside of that, the numbers appear to be trending in a good direction. Cases are trending down. New hospitalizations are barely trending down or they may be flat, but we're talking a 7 day moving average of 21 new hospitalizations per day. And deaths are going down - we're down to a 7 day moving average of around 2 or 3 persons a day. That's still 2 or 3 too many, but on the flip side what's the mental and physical damage being caused by the lock downs?

VA has a population of over 8.6M people - of those we're currently experiencing 21 new hospitalizations and 2 new deaths per day - those don't seem like numbers that would dictate we get more strict in our lock downs. Just curious what numbers are driving the decision-making.
