In order to see how a curve is being flattened, one needs to look at the individual cases per day. The erratic data of new cases being reported is not attributable to more tests being done as the reporting is probably not real time and the delays in releasing the results will not be able to provide us a true picture of the “flattening of the curve” until all backlog results are accounted for and we start “flattening” the data. Otherwise, it would be meaningless just gathering data and trying to make heads or tails from them.
