January 13 COVID-19 Test Results; Record 7-Day Deaths"

by Calculated Risk on 1/13/2021 07:19:00 PM

Note: It is possible the 7-day average cases is nearing a peak. I'm looking forward to not posting this data in a few months.

The US is now averaging close to 2 million tests per day. Based on the experience of other countries, for adequate test-and-trace (and isolation) to reduce infections, the percent positive needs to be under 5% (probably close to 1%), so the US has far too many daily cases - and percent positive - to do effective test-and-trace.

There were 1,793,568 test results reported over the last 24 hours.

There were 219,090 positive tests.

Almost 39,000 US deaths have been reported so far in January. See the graph on US Daily Deaths here.



This data is from the COVID Tracking Project.

The percent positive over the last 24 hours was 12.2% (red line is 7 day average). The percent positive is calculated by dividing positive results by total tests (including pending).

And check out COVID Act Now to see how each state is doing. (updated link to new site)



The second graph shows the 7 day average of positive tests reported and daily hospitalizations.

• Record 7-Day Deaths
