data is incomplete because of a lack of testing, now and earlier
the trends for Oregon are encouraging:

Brown today:
"
Brown said efforts made by the state have helped to flatten the curve of the coronavirus spread. She said her framework for restarting public life and business in the state is driven by science and has three prerequisites:
- Slowed growth: fewer cases of COVID-19
- Adequate PPE to protect health care workers and first responders
- A robust public health framework: increased testing, contact tracing and effective isolation
The governor said she couldn't give a specific time frame for when the state will begin to ease COVID-19 restrictions.
"This is going to move much slower than any of us want, but that is the only way to protect the health and safety of Oregonians," Brown tweeted.
so, criteria #1 is looking decent
as for criteria #2, adequate PPE in Oregon, I have no clue where you'd find that info
criteria #3 is the big variable. In a state of 4.2M people, what is an adequate level of testing 10%? 5%?....I don't know. Seems like 5% might be a decent baseline. That would be 200,000 tested and we've only tested a shade over 30,000 so far
maybe she was being purposefully vague, or maybe Oregon, like just about every state is flying blind because of the massive testing failures
