The second graph shows the 7 day average of positive tests reported.
The dashed line is the June low.
Note that there were very few tests available in March and April, and many cases were missed (the percent positive was very high – see first graph). By June, the percent positive had dropped below 5%.
If people stay vigilant, the number of cases might drop to the June low some time in October (that would still be a large number of new cases, but progress).
