In a continuing trend, COVID-19 numbers dropped again across Tennessee, according to the latest numbers from the state.
Last week, the state averaged 157 new coronavirus cases per day, a 43% decrease from the previous seven days, according to the data.
Earlier this year, during the peak of the omicron variant, Tennessee was averaging more than 18,000 new cases in a week.
Davidson County case numbers also saw a decline, with an average of about 36 new case last week from the 52 the week prior.
Positivity rates on tests dropped from 4.2% to 3.7% last week in Davidson County, continuing a decline since early January when the rate was nearly 42%.

Unimpossible! The Settled Science told us that if we were not jabbed quarterly and had our mask stapled to our faces 24/7, we would all gonna die!
So, we were all lied to? /sarcasm>
Have no fear, just in time for Easter, Mini Mengele is back with a new variant.
I don’t think this new crop of fear will garner much paranoid behavior save from the already converted to the Cult of COVID (Reformed for masks). I believe we will be seeing Fauxci competing in Danci with the Stars in about 3 or 4 years before hopefully ending up in prison.
A new variant emerges.
Just when you thought it was safe.
Just when the world was returning to normal.
DOUBLE SECRET OMEGACRON!
No vaccine can stop it.
No test can find it.
DOUBLE SECRET OMEGACRON!
The symptoms could be anything. Or nothing at all.
Anyone you meet could be infected. Your neighbor. The postman. Your spouse.
You yourself could be infected and never know it. It is anywhere and everywhere.
DOUBLE SECRET OMEGACRON!
Coming soon to a theater of horrors near you.
This disease brought to you by the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Truth.
Realistically, it’s probably not that actual cases have reduced — though that is a possibility.

It’s more likely that with Omicron being the least deadly major variant so far (and further variants and sub-variants are likely to continue that downward trend, even if they spread easier), and with the mandates being lifted and businesses opening back up, people no longer need to show a recent negative test to go places.
–
IOW, nobody is testing anymore except the COVID Cult faithful (and maybe a few here and there who feel ill and are curious what they do or don’t have).
–
Fewer tests means fewer positive results.
–
And they’ve been reporting “number of new cases” as the primary metric for so long, people will notice if they suddenly switch to “positive test rate” as a percentage. (The latter should have been the primary metric all along — at the very least they should get equal billing as part of the whole picture — but a percentage is not as scary as a 6-digit number of cases, so they locked themselves into the scariest-looking metric instead of the most valid and useful one.)

Plus, the Democrat Party desperately needs a win before mid-term elections, and “defeating COVID” is easier to
sellmanipulate into existence than, say, “defeating poverty” or “defeating Russia”.
