If you look at the case rates on the RKI tracker / GIS app, you can see that there is a weekly cycle. https://experience.arcgis.com/experience/478220a4c454480e823...

The peak of the last weekly cycle was April 2nd, and was the highest peak yet.

The current cycle is still in progress. Cases get added to previous days of the week retroactively. For example, there were days when it looked like case would go down, and then the next day several thousand cases were added to prior days and we went back to the weekly cycle.

We need to wait until next week to make any judgement about what is going on right now.

Up until now, there seems to be a linear increase if we ignore the cyclic component. At least for two weeks, people have been fantasizing about a decline that did not occur.

I agree that it looks like as if we'll have less cases this week. However, since it's holiday, this may be deceptive. We will not know for certain until next week, perhaps week after next week.

It's too early to celebrate. Obviously I share the hope.
