If I eyeball the number of people in hospital with COVID-19 (which is the only figure I really believe), I can convince myself that there is a very slow downwards trend. Wastewater also appears to be going down, yay!

*All-cause deaths in people who had a positive COVID-19 test in the prior 30 days, that is.
