1. Is it the number of people going to the doctors because they feel sick and finding out they have COVID-19 that's on the rise? Then I would say say a second wave is possibly occurring.

2. Or is it the number of people being tested that has increased which caused the number of confirmed infections to rise?

Based on observations in my county I think it's #2. Since the outbreak we hovered around 16 confirmed infections a month. Those numbers relied on people going to the doctor with a complaint. Then two months ago the county opened several drive through testing facilities and the numbers skyrocketed to 80 + confirmed infections a month
Testing is free and drive thru makes it very convenient. I imagine many stopped by out of curiosity to find out if they are or were once infected.

Number of deaths in county remain the same since the out break.
