Our daily update is published. States reported 1.1 million tests, 73k cases, and 41k people currently hospitalized with COVID-19. The death toll was 1,038, the highest since late September. 4 bar charts showing COVID-19 metrics for the US over time.
Our weekly in-depth look into the data is live. US COVID-19 deaths rose more than 10% from last week as the case surge in the Midwest expands to new states. covidtracking.com/blog/weekly-up…
This increase in deaths has been driven by the Midwest, though deaths have stopped falling in almost every region. The 7-day average of new deaths in the Midwest is up 64% since Oct 1. 4 bar charts, each showing deaths over time for a US region

Our daily update is published. States reported 870k tests, 57k cases, 40k currently hospitalized, and 994 COVID-19 deaths. Note: Updates were not available from FL, GA, and AL. Image
On 10/16, IA reclassified ~10k tests from PCR to antigen, causing its totals to drop. NV redesigned its dashboard and removed the number of people who tested negative, a figure we used to calculate totals. We froze the figure, making NV’s tests appear as all positive for 5 days.
We’ve received a lot of questions recently about high daily test positivity calculations for states, ranging from 50%-100%, based on dividing our Positive API field by our totalTestResults API field.

Our daily update is published. States reported 1.17 million tests, 60k cases, and 797 deaths. 37k people are currently hospitalized with COVID-19.
Wisconsin and four other states—Connecticut, Louisiana, Kansas, Rhode Island—did not update their case numbers today.

Last night, we switched our TotalTestResults data field to a better time series that's now publicly provided by the state of Indiana. This resulted in a 918k cumulative increase in tests completed. We also added the state's positive PCR test results data. covidtracking.com/data/state/ind…

The COVID Racial Data Tracker has launched shareable charts of per capita cases and deaths, broken out by the race and ethnicity categories reported. Sharing a few examples in this thread.

The New Mexico chart shows how much more likely ‘American Indian or Alaska Native’ people have been to test positive or die from COVID-19 since the pandemic began, compared to other people in the state.

We are able to see the disparate impact of COVID-19 for each state and territory with these cards.
In Tennessee, the ‘Hispanic or Latino’ population is much more likely to have tested positive for COVID-19.

Our daily update is published. States reported 1 million tests, 63k cases, and 951 deaths. 37k people are currently hospitalized with COVID-19.
Today’s national case count was the highest since late-July. Several states reported their highest-ever case totals, some of which also broke their hospitalization records.
After a month of warning signs, this week’s alarming numbers make it clear that the third surge of COVID-19 in the US has arrived. Sadly, we're not only seeing an increase in cases and hosp., but deaths are also starting to rise, after a 3-week downtrend.
