Our daily update is published. States reported 1.2 million tests and 103k cases - the highest daily case count to date. 52k people are currently hospitalized with COVID-19 and today’s death toll was 1,116. 4 bar charts showing COVID-19 metrics for the US over time.
There are 34 states reporting over 1,000 cases — a new record.
Hospitalization numbers peaked in 16 states today. 20 states have over 1,000 people currently hospitalized with COVID-19.
Two data changes in Georgia: GA has added 30,829 “antigen positive cases” to their totals. We asked for clarification on how we should account for these positive tests. In the meantime, we recorded these positive antigen tests in our “Positive Antigen Tests (People)” API field.
Georgia also began reporting probable deaths on Nov 3, so the 480 GA deaths now in our data for Nov 3 include ~450 previously recorded probable deaths. These deaths are reflected in the historical data and not in today's national update.

Our weekly update is published. The United States set a new weekly record for reported cases, breaking 500K for the first time in the pandemic. We see no evidence that any state in the current surge has reached its peak and begun to decline.

The rise in cases cannot be attributed to an increase in tests; 47 of the 50 states, along with D.C., have seen cases rise faster than reported tests since October 1. 25 states have set records for new cases this week. A bar chart showing case and test growth for the 50 states a
