Yes vaguely encouraging although there will be daily fluctuations I suppose

and this is going to go on for a long time.

The case numbers are obviously a bit meaningless because we know those with mild symptoms are self isolating and not being tested but the point of encouragement to take from those figures is that despite the fact they are only testing those with the most serious symptoms they tested more people in the last 24 hours than the previous 24 hours and the number and % of the tests coming back positive was lower. That and (based on what they have announced so far anyway) there don't appear to have been too many deaths over that 24 hour period (fingers crossed).
