Our daily update is published. States reported 712k tests and 51k cases, along with 616 deaths. We’ve seen for months that the Saturday-Monday numbers tend to be lower than Tuesday-Friday.

But compared with last Sunday, cases and deaths are both up.
The 7-day average for cases seems likely to rise. There were storm-related drops in testing and cases, which showed up in the numbers from the 3th-6th. Those numbers will be replaced with regular reporting. We might be seeing the very beginning of that today in the South.
Finally, just a reminder that the data over the last week has been influenced by a wide array of technical hiccups, storm disruptions, and other confounding factors.

Our daily update is published. States reported 763k tests and 62k new cases. This is a considerable jump from mid-week, which is not typical and may reflect a return to more normal reporting after the east coast weather problems. The death toll was 1,333.
17 states reported at least 1,000 cases today. It’s possible that this reflects some storm-induced reporting backlog.
Georgia has consistently reported thousands of new cases each day—and has the fourth-largest number of hospitalized COVID-19 patients today, trailing only much larger states (CA, FL, TX).

Our daily update is published. The focus is on tests today: states reported 664k tests, the lowest figure since July 8. There were 52k reported cases and 1,401 deaths.
Some of the testing fall off is attributable to IT trouble in MA today and storm-related closures in FL. Still, the problem is broader. Weekly testing declined for the first time ever in our dataset.
There are widespread problems right now in the top-level data. In different ways, California and Florida have had trouble reporting complete data because of storms and IT problems. Because they are populous states with large outbreaks, that influences the national numbers.

Our daily update is published. States reported relatively low numbers of tests (713k) and cases (60k). The 7-day average for deaths is now 1,076.
Taking a step back, the weekly picture describes a case surge that appears to be at—or just past—its peak. We also see testing at a plateau for the first time since mid-May. Deaths continue to rise.
Here are some even broader views of the course of the pandemic from March 1 - July 31.

First, tests.
