It seems more context would help here. IF the increase in Kingman had been determined by the voluntary testing over the weekend, it would be different from if it were people seeking treatment at KRMC for significant symptoms. The former means the obviously mobile (likely spreaders) now have info necessary to self-isolate and help STOP the spread; but if the latter, it indicates large number of new infections – perhaps hundreds – needed to generate an influx of more serious cases.
Thanks for providing facts, but without necessary context readers are left to create context that would reflect confirmation bias and hence deepen division.
