August 8 COVID-19 Test Results

by Calculated Risk on 8/08/2020 05:53:00 PM

Note: There are some states having reporting problems.

The US is now mostly reporting over 700,000 tests per day. 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 (or take actions to push down the number of new infections).

There were 665,029 test results reported over the last 24 hours.

There were 53,923 positive tests.

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 8.1% (the redline).

For the status of contact tracing by state, check out testandtrace.com.

And check out COVID Exit Strategy to see how each state is doing.
