July 1 COVID-19 Test Results, Highest Percent Positive Since Early May, Over 50,000 Positive

UPDATE: First post didn’t include California numbers. Now updated.

The US is now conducting over 500,000 tests per day, and that might be enough to allow test-and-trace in some areas. 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.

According to Dr. Jha of Harvard’s Global Health Institute, the US might need more than 900,000 tests per day.

There were 621,114 test results reported over the last 24 hours.

There were 52,982 positive tests.  This is the most daily positive tests.
