Could there be an increase because of more and better screening? Without total case numbers >50 it’s kind of useless. Even with that number however it would need cause of death statistics as well.
More and better and earlier screening always results in higher numbers of early positive, creating an upwards trend that could as well be positive as on it’s own it says nothing.
Agreed. I wonder how one controls for confirmation bias here? Maybe show another graph depicting screening rates, or a plot showing the introduction of newer and more accurate screening methodologies?
