What's this?

Yep. What exactly do the Case Numbers tell us?

Back in April/May, very few asymptomatic (or minor symptom) college/school kids were getting tested. Now they are, often in the hundreds & thousands.

So you've got 800 weekly cases in October, vs 800 weekly cases in April --- is that better, worse? Are we really comparing apples to apples?

I think you've got apples-to-apples (or pretty close) with hospitalizations, and deaths. But the Case Numbers? Dunno.
