Only because less testing was done in the last few days.

Can you provide a source or link for that assertion?

I wasn’t saying masks were not effective. The P2 or N95 can block the saliva drops that the virus is carried on. They also block you from touching your mouth and nose.

my point about being better off without masks relates to the video in the link I provided. I wonder how many millions are being produced in similar disgusting conditions but nicely packaged so the end user is none the wiser. And seeing as many of the N95 masks are made in the home of counterfeiting, China, how many fakes are being sold to hospitals etc..

It was just mentioned again on the evening news that a case of "weekenditis" stopped a lot from getting tested. However, most agree not to get too excited yet. Let's see how this week pans out.

Sorry, perhaps I was unclear but I am agreeing with you.

Only yesterday Saint Jacinda said that there had not been enough testing done, especially over the weekend. She said that from now on clinicians will test if the patient has any of the symptoms without regard to any recent travel. The new mantra is "test, test, test"
