Our daily update is published. We’ve now tracked 7.5 million tests, up 260k from yesterday.

Note that we can only track tests that a state reports.

For details, see: covidtracking.com
This is the second day in a row in which the positive rate was below 10%. For most of April, we were at or near 20%.

That said, the absolute number of new cases has not fallen as much.

States reported 22k new cases today.
The reported death toll was very high today: 2,527, one of the three highest days of the outbreak.

Some of that is due to a large data reconciliation in Pennsylvania which resulted in the state reporting 554 deaths today.
It's worth zooming in on one state story, Michigan. A few weeks ago, it looked like it might turn into another New York.

Deaths were rising rapidly, peaking at over 200 per day. Now, deaths are *slowly* declining.

Testing is way up, but newly discovered cases are falling.
