The last I knew they based the numbers on where your declare your residence.
The increase could be a surge from non-residents carrying it into areas, but the actual numbers would be declared residents.
They don't have it under control, because no one has it under control.
The issue is simply hospitalizations and lost time to labor.
Hospitalizations have additional costs to the system... seldom paid by the individual out-of-pocket; and lost time to labor is because it transmits so fast that by the time they get the first employee tested, several others have it. By the time they get us all isolated, the shift... or worse... is no longer viable.
We are not going to be able to control it without changes in our everyday system.
