Some hope in the US

After a frustrating week of stagnant daily tests, the number of daily tests performed in the US took a jump from 103,000 two days ago up to 216,000 today. Even better news, was that even though testing increased, the number of new positive cases held steady at around 33,000. The positive test ratio is back down to 16%, from a high of 26% two days ago. This gives some hope that the number of tests is starting to outpace the spread of the virus, a good first step towards getting things back under control.
