Weird one here, see next tweet.

Newly reported deaths
Today: 1,100
Yesterday: 884
One week ago (5/29): 1,185

Newly reported cases
T: 29K
Y: 21K
5/29: 24K

Newly reported tests
T: 551K
Y: 466K
5/29: 492K

Positive test %
T: 5%
Y: 4%
5/29: 5%
Michigan changed the way it reported cases and deaths (adding probable cases and deaths) and Minnesota changed the way its reports tests. More details here:

bridgemi.com/michigan-healt…

Without those changes, there would have been

860 deaths
23K cases
506K tests
still a 5% positive test rate

So it would still be a record testing day (first day over 500K), though not by as much. It would also have been 3 straight days with deaths below 1000, however.
