July 21 COVID-19 Test Results

The US is now 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 754,858 test results reported over the last 24 hours.

There were 62,749 positive tests.

Sadly, over 1,000 deaths reported today.
