Testing appears to have plateaued at around 775K tests a day. For a while, the positivity rate had been flat with a slight decline. The positivity rate has increased for 4 days in a row now. New cases had leveled off at around 66K a day, but if the positivity rate starts climbing, with constant 775k tests we'll see a rise again in the case numbers.

Deaths are on a definite upswing with 8 consecutive days of the day over day growth in the 7-day average. You can see in the 2nd graph below that the growth rate in daily deaths is on a very steady slow incline.





The only real positive I see is that the mortality rate continues to decline to where it ought to be.

I don't get this.

The states with largest outbreaks right now, arizona, florida, and texas have ALL seen declines in positivity rates.

what area of the nation is pushing up the nation average right now?

If we get through the next couple days with lower positivity in Florida, I think we might be on the decline.

I'm guessing the other southern states.

I think in a couple of weeks we will see a drastic drop in positivity.

And it is related to this point, of course, but this uptick in deaths is reasonably shallow.

The other thing is that, whether it burns through quickly or slowly, we haven't seen a bad flare up after embers have died down - yet (closest is probably Louisiana). Still potential for that with the return of flu season.

Mainly South Florida and the RGV.

Not the time of year for snowbirds to be driving down.

Not South Florida because they are included in the drop of Florida.

Georgia saw a big positive % number today. Biggest I've seen in a while, 17.1%.

Michigan, I was considering how to answer your question. It occurred to me that it might be possible to give easy visibility to the answer by taking a states 7 day positivity rate and multiplying that against the number of cases today. That would yield a metric (totally artificial) that would show you the relative size of the impact for each state.

My thinking was if a state had a 70% positivity rate but only 10 cases, then it represented a far smaller impact than a state with a 20% positivity rate and 1,000 new cases.

This is what that looks like

Another example of why you can't trust daily numbers. Delaware with 49 deaths? I don't think so. They should back count and only count deaths that day. Or only a few days.

If i was looking at a stock technical i'd be expecting it to set a new high based on these charts.

Deaths and cases continue to rise. I really believed this would pretty much be gone by now.
Something fishy going on.

The issues with the US's approach is it was half assed. We could have either done a true lock down or tried Sweeden's approach. We crashed the economy and still don't have a handle on the spread.

Problem is states with few infections closed too early. What you're seeing now is what we should have seen in April if we didn't shut down.

We effectively "flattened the curve"

Yeah but once we flattened it. Everyone said sweet mission accomplished and instead of seeing the full drop you now see it headed the wrong direction. we're seeing the flattening in cases though which is a great sign that eventually deaths will flatten or receed again.
