Our daily update is published. We’ve now tracked more than 1.9+ million tests, up 155k from yesterday. ~360k have been positive.
Note that we can only track tests that a state reports. And not all states report all tests.

New daily deaths held steady at 1,182, about as many as yesterday. New York continues to dominate the movement of these numbers, and New York& #39;s numbers have flattened.


Some unexpected numbers came from Indiana today. Despite only having ~5000 confirmed cases, the state said today it has 924 COVID patients in the ICU and 500 on ventilators. That& #39;s not too far from California& #39;s ICU count and closing in on Pennsylvania and Louisiana& #39;s vent usage.
It looks to us like Indiana has to be added to the list of serious outbreaks. It& #39;s worth watching the state& #39;s press conference. They discuss the hospitalization situation beginning around 11:00. https://www.facebook.com/GovHolcomb/videos/vb.442813765924854/224693478801145/?type=2&theater">https://www.facebook.com/GovHolcom...
Indiana got off to a very slow start testing. Compare their completed tests with Minnesota& #39;s, a smaller state.
The nation passed 10,000 deaths today.
New York stands at 4,758 deaths. New Jersey passed 1,000.
16 states have lost more than 100 people to COVID-19.

One methodological note, re: hospitalization data.
States are reporting two fundamentally unlike statistics: current hospitalizations/ICU admissions and cumulative hospitalizations/ICU admissions.
We also have very incomplete reporting overall here.

We also have very incomplete reporting overall here.
In short: it is impossible to report anything resembling the real statistics for hospitalizations, ICU admissions, or ventilator usage across the United States.
This is a failing, in and of itself, of our nation& #39;s health care system.

As a result, we’re no longer going to provide summary statistics on our site.
We WILL going to continue tracking these numbers on a state-by-state basis, but it does not feel responsible to continue to display them for a general audience.

These heavily caveated numbers will remain in the API for advanced data users.
Please note: The cumulative totals will only count *those states that report cumulatively*.

You will see this change go into effect in the next day or so.
(And if we can find a way to improve the data quality, these statistics could come back. Trust that we& #39;re trying as hard as we can.)

And our website team has made the change:
