And for the first time, the 7-day average has crossed the 500k minimum daily tests recommended by @HarvardGH. Really good news at the national level.

Florida continues not to report current hospitalizations, but it would not be a surprise if their numbers look a lot like the Texas chart.
Three more states of interest: California, Oklahoma, and Georgia.
(GA had reporting problems during that May 24 week, which is why the numbers look strange.)

States reported 630 deaths. We are still seeing a solid national decline.
