Our daily update is published. We’ve now tracked 7.8 million tests, up 215k from yesterday, in bit down from recent numbers.

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

For details, see: covidtracking.com
1,949 new deaths were reported by the states, in-line with the mid-week death toll over the last month.
Daily newly reported cases appear to be on a new, slightly lower plateau around ~22k cases per day.

A reminder: the case reporting is *probably* lagging new infections by a week or so.
As part of our work tracking COVID-19, we assiduously record which states report what data. We've turned this into a comprehensive grading system, which you see mapped below.

And here is the data the map is based on:

You may also have noticed that we launched a new homepage at:

And more changes are on the way.

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.

South Dakota began reporting race & ethnicity data today. In a 90% white state, almost 70% of cases are people of color because of meatpacking outbreaks.

Of the 3 states still not reporting any of this data -- NE, ND, NV -- Nebraska, especially, may have similar dynamics.
With previous data, governors have been able to make more information available. Nebraska's @GovRicketts, North Dakota's @DougBurgum, and Nevada's @GovSisolak probably can improve transparency, if their constituents let them know how important this data is.
Looking at 2019 Census estimates, the demographic picture in South Dakota has become a bit more diverse, but the larger point stands. census.gov/quickfacts/SD

Our daily update is published. We’ve now tracked 5.2 million tests, up 300k from yesterday, another huge day.

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

For details, see: covidtracking.com
Many states reported a huge number of tests, including a known backlog clearing from MA (30k+). NY reported almost 50k tests; TX over 20k.

AL, CA, FL, GA, IL, MA, NY, TN, TX all reported over 10k tests.
Still, 300k tests is a huge number. We know some of the increase is due to reporting changes, as in California. But it does seem like there has been a substantial change over the last several days in the testing capacity of the United States.
