On the common timeline, the US continues to show an acceleration of new cases compared to other countries, but please see my post on why the rise in testing is primarily us discovering cases created before the US took extreme measures last week. 

Our focus on testing is also encouraging.  See this chart on the common timeline.  

The spike in testing relative to other countries looks a lot like the spike in new cases in the previous graph, supporting the idea that the rise in cases has more to do with increased testing than actual new cases.  As of today,  we have also tested more people than any other country on the common timeline (ie 22 days since crossing 100 cases).   We're still actually accelerating the daily testing.  See this chart of tests per day:

We're conducting way more tests per day than any other country and have increased the lead every day this week.  With the release of new, easier tests where the samples can be taken by the patient, we should see this number keep rising -- and hopefully the other countries' testing rates will also rise as we share our technology with them. 

Later this morning,  I'll be posting about how the steps we've taken could effect the growth of COVID in the US.  All Charts and source data are available at my sheet here.
