Meanwhile, back in Corona news:
This week, the number of new cases shot up by over 50% in four states — Arizona, Florida, New Mexico and Oregon.
Florida and Arizona, however, have also recorded enormous improvements in testing over the past week.
Florida, for example, saw a 65% increase in cases, but also a 65% increase in the number of tests performed — so that spike in confirmed cases is probably a reflection of more accurate data, rather than an outbreak that got 65% worse.
New Mexico and Oregon both saw increased caseloads that outpace their improvements in testing, suggesting that their outbreaks are in fact getting worse.
