To go from 8% positive rate to 5% in only one week is remarkable imo.
Today was a record setting day of testing, too.
Bitch all you want about the slow start for testing, the rate at which America has ramped up testing is praise-worthy.

In a couple more weeks, there will be almost no flu deaths to pimp as Covid deaths.

Agree completely. When an objective history is written about this event there will be fair criticisms of things the president/CDC/etc have said and done poorly, but the major ramp up in testing will have to be a huge success story. It’s gone up a crazy amount in 3 weeks.

We must be running out of symptomatic people to test....

This will likely piss off the left who regardless of the facts will insist we all need to stay home still.

but who is getting tested?
are there really that many people who aren't feeling well need to see if they have Covid?
or are these test for people just curious if they had Covid and have the antibodies?
please advise?

I agree, a very good day, but you usually have to wait to see what Tuesday/Wednesday have for the weekend backlog.
