First someone is going to jump in and say how things are improving and isn’t the JJ-gov so great. Then someone is going to point out that there aren’t enough tests and this happens every Tuesday. Then some else is going to jump in and say that this whole virus thing is nothing to worry about and people should just get on with their lives. The someone is going to add that the response to the virus is worse than the virus itself. Then someone is going to scream for a lockdown. And the circular arguments will continue. Did I miss annything?

This is kept for the medical side and not reported, but I would like to know if the decrease is due to a recovery or unfortunately the opposite.

Reporting a decrease in the number of severe patients seems to be a good news, but these persons might have passed away.
