Our daily update is published. Six states (AR/CT/KS/KY/NH/RI) did not report by our publish time today. Based on past numbers, it looks like many more states reduced testing and reporting over the holiday weekend.

42.5K new cases today. 654K new tests. 209 deaths reported.
Weekend dips in testing and reporting are why we use 7-day rolling averages wherever possible. The holiday weekend reporting gap is going to result in much larger numbers later this week.
Four states—Connecticut, Kansas, Kentucky, and Rhode Island—haven’t reported new data in two days. Kansas’s percent-positive rate was rapidly rising before the weekend began. covidtracking.com/data/state/kan…
Even though today’s update is missing data from six states, there were more new cases today than in any day of the pandemic before June 25. In better news, more test results were reported today than any day before July 2.
Twenty-one states set new all-time case records in the past week.
Last data point today: Even with the holiday weekend, Florida’s numbers are alarming. The state has reported more than 10,000 new cases three of the last four days. Still no data on current COVID-19 hospitalizations in FL.

Our daily update is published. We have many incomplete reports from states today and two states missing at our cutoff time (AK and RI). Today’s data reflects the holiday weekend dip in testing and reporting.

47K new cases today. 518K new tests. 242 deaths (corrected from 158).
The delays in reporting from the long weekend will likely result in higher numbers from some states and territories later this week. Some states are already posting higher numbers, many still much lower than last week's.
Note that Oklahoma reported positive tests but not negative or total tests today. This almost certainly does not mean OK has a 100% positive rate. It’s a reporting delay.

Our daily update is published. We see slightly lower numbers than earlier in the week, probably due to the holiday weekend. 6 states (CT, KS, KY, LA, MN, RI) did not report at all, and some others had lower numbers than usual.

Still: states reported 52k new cases.
You can see the states that did not report here as well as Florida's new record high of 11,458 new cases, which dwarfs even the 8000+ cases reported by Texas.
Texas, meanwhile, set a new record for the number of patients currently hospitalized with COVID-19.

Our daily update is published. New cases and tests were near the record highs set yesterday.

But the biggest milestone today is that the 7-day average for COVID-19 deaths reported by states fell below 500.
That said, the dynamics of COVID-19 deaths in this second surge remain complicated.

Deaths are not falling everywhere. In Arizona, for example, daily average deaths have tripled since June.
In Texas, too, daily average deaths have risen ~50% in the last two weeks.
