May 12 Update: US COVID-19 Test Results: Step Backwards

by Calculated Risk on 5/12/2020 05:39:00 PM

The US might be able to test 400,000 to 600,000 people per day sometime in May according to Dr. Fauci - and that might be enough for test and trace.

However, the US might need more than 900,000 tests per day according to Dr. Jha of Harvard's Global Health Institute.

There were 306,581 test results reported over the last 24 hours.



This data is from the COVID Tracking Project.

The percent positive over the last 24 hours was 6.6% (red line). The US probably needs enough tests to keep the percentage positive well below 5%. (probably much lower based on testing in New Zealand).

A step backward from yesterday, but still above 300,000 tests.
