Now that testing is becoming more prevalent, is the fact that we see more cases a surprise?

Should there be a different metric on as to "I really need to worry now?"

Mortality.

@Jolly that was my thought as well. Perhaps hospitalizations?

I think the metric for "severe" is "needs hospitalization." You can be sick as fuck, but if you don't meet certain criteria, stay home and you're not "severe."

Yeah, hospitalizations is what I look at.
