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.
Current COVID-19 hospitalizations continued to rise through the weekend.
This trend persisted even though many states do not report complete numbers, and a few—Florida, Hawaii, Idaho, and Kansas—do not report any at all.

There’s not a lot more we can report today, because so many states appear to have holiday-related backlogs. As the numbers fill in through the week, we’ll be able to dig into state and regional data again.
Note: In an earlier version of this thread, we posted an incorrect number for today’s reported deaths. We deleted the tweet, posted the wrong chart, and deleted it again. All numbers and charts are correct now. Our apologies for the errors. —@kissane
