I guess if reporting is considered hyperventilating, then that’s true. The issue isn’t just that cases are rising, it’s the rates at which they are risings in certain areas, and the fact that positivity rate is also rising.

Some increase when opening is to be expected, but the idea behind limiting contacts, social distancing, and masks is to slow the spread enough that we don’t have exponential growth that overwhelms health care systems.

Opening up doesn’t mean we can stop all of that, and certain states are starting to show increases that look more and more like exponential growth. If it doesn’t change, they could be looking like NY in April within a few weeks.
