America’s positive test rate remains at 9.5%; however, testing is increasing more in the states that mostly have lower positive rates than in the states with high positive rates, so the data is likely skewed to the lower end.
- 4 states, plus DC, have a positive rate of 5% or less
- 31 states have a positive rate of 10% or greater
- 15 of these states have a positive rate of 20% or higher
- 8 of these states have a positive rate of 30% or higher

- In ICU Wards: 17,526 (+2,176 in last 7 days)
- On Ventilator: 5,990 (+1,289 in last 7 days)
NOTE: hospitalizations, ICU, and ventilator numbers would go up far, far faster if not for the 11,956 Americans who transferred from the hospital to the grave in the last 7 days.
