    “*18,877 people have tested positive”  One week ago that number was 17.980.  That indicates a change of about 900 instead of over 1,000 as it has been.  So the rate of infection in King co. may taper off if  this trend holds.

      I’m glad I’m not the only one comparing the week over week changes. I wouldn’t be surprised if we see another increase in cases in a few weeks due to Labor Day, but I bet it’ll go down again since we’re not doing in person classes. 

Sorry, comment time is over.
