Our daily 4pm ET update is out. The topline number is not good: ~10000 people tested, according to our state-level data, which cannot track all negative tests. That's a smaller day-over-day increase than yesterday.

The ramp is not happening fast enough.

It's worth noting why the small number of tests matter. Insufficient testing means that the number of cases we've discovered is *far* too small. The outbreak is much larger than the official case numbers show.
We cannot track all negative tests, which is bad for the data, but provides a ray of hope. But right now, unfortunately, we do not think we're missing *that many* negative tests.
Two exceptions: California and New York. We know our numbers are low there by hundreds, maybe (maybe!) thousands. But it seems highly unlikely to change the *overall* picture here.
