#Covid19India: State of the States::Daily Tests & Positives

Coded in a slightly more informative workup for the testing by states. Boxplots on the axes indicate the average # of tests and positives per day. Straight line indicates expected positivity.

AP is testing high ...
+

AS, CH and CT are testing okay while BR is testing low (needs to be more than 10K per day).
+

GA and HR are testing okay while GJ needs to test way more than 10K per day and DL needs to test more than 20K per day.
+

All four states here - HP, JK, JH and KA - are testing okay
+

KL is testing okay while OR should ramp up to at least 6K per day. MP needs to boost testing at least 2x while MH needs to do so 5x.
+

PB and RJ are testing okay. RJ should boost to 15K per day though. TN needs to double its daily testing. Not enough data for TG but from # positives, it needs at least 20K tests/day.
+

UT appears to be testing okay. TR and UP need at least a 50% increase in daily tests while WB should double the # of daily tests at least.

Note: The benchmark is to raise testing till positivity drops below 2%. With capacity constraints, states must target achieving below 4%.
