July 8 COVID-19 Test Results, Record Positive, Highest Percent Positive since Early May

by Calculated Risk on 7/08/2020 07:31:00 PM

The US is now conducting over 600,000 tests per day, and that might be enough to allow test-and-trace in some areas. Based on the experience of other countries, the percent positive needs to be well under 5% to really push down new infections, so the US still needs to increase the number of tests per day significantly.

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

There were 666,196 test results reported over the last 24 hours.

There were 62,197 positive tests. Most ever.



This data is from the COVID Tracking Project.

The percent positive over the last 24 hours was 9.3% (red line).
