Where are you getting the test counts by states from? I’ve been following the Hopkins’ tool for confirmed cases and deaths, but it doesn’t show tests conducted.

Going Underground Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Still not enough tests. Sentara Healthcare system is temporarily closing its three drive-through testing sites in Hampton Roads on Wednesday, after two days, because its supply of tests is running low, officials said Wednesday. The sites in Virginia Beach, Williamsburg and Chesapeake are set to close at 2 p.m. The health care system on Monday launched the screening and testing sites outside its facilities in Hampton Roads, the center of a small coronavirus outbreak, including the only deaths in the region. A spokeswoman could not immediately say how many tests were conducted before the suspension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meanwhile in a certain hospital ,did about 623 tests yesterday and then could not do anymore. Ran out of tests. Next week should be a little better because of availability. . This from CNN: https://www.cnn.com/2020/03/18/us/coronavirus-test-nba-celebrity/index.html Quote The contrast between regular Americans' struggle to get tested and the NBA's capacity to test entire teams regardless of symptoms set off a mix of frustration and resentment toward the elite, best encapsulated in a tweet from New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio. "We wish them a speedy recovery," de Blasio tweeted. "But, with all due respect, an entire NBA team should NOT get tested for COVID-19 while there are critically ill patients waiting to be tested. Tests should not be for the wealthy, but for the sick." 'Bout sums it up IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
