"She also said the number of new confirmed cases has declined by 40 percent this week compared to last week."

As of Friday, the week wasn't done. So was she comparing the past 5 days to the previous 7 days? I hope not!

Look at the 7 day numbers, week over week as of Friday Aug 7th

a total of 256 new cases

a decline of 2 cases or .08%. Which numbers are she using and did anyone question this?

thps says...

theory: the 23 were reported in Wednesday's number. the PHA then issued the statement on Thursday.

So an auto-only store remains closed.

An auto and hardware store is allowed to open for both hardware, auto, and whatever else exists in their store.

Seems fair. AID will say, its hard to in some cases differentiate hardware from auto.

Is construction limited to only hurricane season activities?

If I am building a house will this be permitted to continue?

At least we know the health experts around the world agree that construction sites on weekends during a surge poses less of a threat than doing pushups in front of your house across the road.

I am suitably qualified to make this statement (My studies primarily include watching a Briland wedding where they gave instructions on "What to do during Weekend Lockdowns").

Deaths trail Hospitalizations, Hospitalizations Trail Cases. This is Correct.
The hope is we catch it early enough to prevent the death numbers as those who find and trace early are able to keep the death count low.

But the number is the number so don't get too hard on the poster. They haven't made any theories, To your point, I do get the possible implication.

It also helps when you sit on a lot of North Sea oil, drill and sell it, then take the money and invest it in the likes of Apple, Microsoft (which were its fund's top earners in 2019).
