An encouraging day.
Lots of tests!
Fewest deaths since 4/6.
Lowest share of positives* since 3/16.
* Since some states don't report negative tests at the same time they report positives, it's really more like "ratio of newly reported positives to all newly reported tests".

Same caveats as usual apply though:
* Reporting of death tolls can be low and a bit erratic on the weekends.
* A lot of the improvement we're seeing is in NY, where death tolls are now ~1/2 of their peak. Degree of improvement (if any) outside NY varies from state to state.
