Here's a look at the situation around the country.
Deaths rose again today. We now report a cumulative total of 1,530. These deaths are concentrated quite heavily in just a few states.
We are instituting some changes in how we report our data in the API. Pending will no longer be included in the totals, replaced by positive+negative completed tests.
Pending has always been a slippery number and it seems to be getting worse.

We are also beginning to track and will soon report outcomes data. We're working with @propublica's network of reporters to make these numbers as comprehensive as possible. Only a few dozen states currently report them in any form.
We believe this data is central to our mission of recording state-level data that illuminates the severity of the outbreak and the intensity of responses to it.
We expect that more and more states will be reporting these numbers soon.

As noted earlier, we had to do some work with California's numbers, as the comprehensive set had not come in by the time we published our daily update. Make sure you check out our best-available solution (which is still not ideal).
