and there is also the question if the relationship of "cases" (as in positive test result) actually has the same relationship to actual infections in the community, as anecdotally (but many anecdotes) it seems people aren't getting covid tests for every little cough like we were back in the winter and spring.

Testing is way down

and people who are vaccinated aren't getting tested for every sniffle like you said.

So the positive number of tests is surely not catching all the cases.
