Our daily update is published. We’ve now tracked more than 2,665,906 tests, up 137k from yesterday. The new plateau continues.

Note that we can only track tests that a state reports. And not all states report all tests.

Known COVID-19 deaths also remained near the level they've been at for the past week.
The death toll continues to be concentrated in New York and New Jersey, although Michigan, Illinois, and Pennsylvania continue to see substantial numbers of deaths each day.

A methodological note. As we've been saying, we're continuing to revise and pin down the way we code hospitalizations data. The states are reporting two different numbers: current hospitalizations and cumulative hospitalizations. These are unlike numbers.
Cumulative hospitalizations tells you something (though far from a complete story) about the severity of the disease. Current hospitalizations measures something else, though: it quantifies the strain on the hospital system at a given time.
There's a little more complexity: some states that report current hospitalizations lump together laboratory-confirmed positive and suspected cases, and others (like California, seen below) break them out.

Our daily update is published. We’ve now tracked more than 2.5 million tests, up less than 150k from yesterday.

Note that we can only track tests that a state reports. And not all states report all tests.

We’re very close to half a million confirmed cases. Which means: almost 1 out of every 5 tests has come back positive.

When states reported incompletely, this was an unreliable statistic. But the aggregate number is reasonably accurate now.
Testing capacity appears to have plateaued again, and yet we're not seeing declining positive rates. We're still nowhere close to having a true sense of the scale of the outbreak.

Our daily update is published. We’ve now tracked more than 1.9+ million tests, up 155k from yesterday. ~360k have been positive.

Note that we can only track tests that a state reports. And not all states report all tests.

For details, see: covidtracking.com
New daily deaths held steady at 1,182, about as many as yesterday. New York continues to dominate the movement of these numbers, and New York's numbers have flattened.

Some unexpected numbers came from Indiana today. Despite only having ~5000 confirmed cases, the state said today it has 924 COVID patients in the ICU and 500 on ventilators. That's not too far from California's ICU count and closing in on Pennsylvania and Louisiana's vent usage.
