Just Looked At Johns-Hopkins Site Again

[ProfessorGAC]

Looked at whole US.
Nationwide positivity is 8.1%, which is >80% above where it was in mid-June.
But, the really glaring thing was total testing.
There were 600,000 total tests, yesterday.
In looking at the Illinois DPH site, there were more than 36,000 tests here.
Illinois is about 4% of the population of the US. So, tests here extrapolate to 900k.
But, the actual was 2/3rds of that.
So, cases are likely much higher, given the 8%+ positivity, because some states are disproportionately high in tests.
That would suggest (with tenuous extrapolation) that new cases might have been 80k yesterday.
Here's the chart:

1. Some states are doing a lot of testing,

others not so much. I believe it comes down to having the testing kits. The mayor of Tucson, AZ talked about that recently on the Rachel Maddow show.

It's also a problem country by country. Some are testing a lot, others, like India, not so much. https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/#countries

2. Apparently So

Using my state as the example, 6% of the tests, 4% of the population.
I wonder though, how hard some states are trying to get supplies.

4. The mayor of Tucson apparently

has begged the President or perhaps those around him to send testing kits, but she's been ignored, apparently.

I also understand that the places making the kits are having a hard time getting the supplies needed to make them. Or run the tests themselves.

3. Indiana

Our local paper has a story headline of "Indiana's positive rate soars to 5.9%".

5. Florida Is At 20!

Saw it on CNN a couple hours ago.
