Every one of the 200,000 Americans killed by Covid is a tragedy, and most of these deaths did not have to happen. The future is in our hands.
We can save lives and accelerate economic recovery by putting science and public health at the center of our response. As the global death toll passes one million, this also means collaborating to improve public health systems worldwide.

3/10 Every state should report testing rates by race/ethnicity, and tests that take more than 48 hours to come back are of little value. We should see by state and race/ethnicity, the rates of tests that return results within 48 hours.
