January 1 COVID-19 Test Results
Note: It will take a week or so for the data to adjust for the holidays. The week-over-week growth in positive cases slowed prior to the holidays. Hopefully that continues after the holidays.
The US is now averaging close to 2 million tests per day. Based on the experience of other countries, for adequate test-and-trace (and isolation) to reduce infections, the percent positive needs to be under 5% (probably close to 1%), so the US has far too many daily cases - and percent positive - to do effective test-and-trace.
There were 1,239,502 test results reported over the last 24 hours.
There were 173,255 positive tests.
Over 2,500 US deaths have been reported so far in January. See the graph on US Daily Deaths here.
This data is from the COVID Tracking Project.
The percent positive over the last 24 hours was 14.0% (red line is 7 day average). The percent positive is calculated by dividing positive results by total tests (including pending).
