The US is now mostly reporting over 700,000 tests per day (fewer recently). 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 772 thousand test results reported over the last 24 hours.
There were 47 thousand positive tests.
There have been over 28,000 COVID reported deaths in the first 28 days of August. See the graph on US Daily Deaths here.
