Now for the fun...
On 7-17 the 7 day average of %positive was 11.2%. As of yesterday it is at 12.3%.
As I stated a few days ago though it as only Kansas I was referring too, testing has dropped significantly which is inflating the %positive rate. This is fairly logical as that is how math works when you test less people and the people you test have reason to suspect they have Covid.
In other words the %positivity rate is rather misleading.

What's the testing availability like in KC? In my city they've closed two of the test centers (one that got results back to you in 48 hours). Our current centers are all backlogged and notoriously inaccurate. Not saying that's what's happening in KC, but once that happened in my city I've pretty much disregarded the data they've reported since.
