Our daily update is published. We’ve now tracked 24.9 million tests, up 489k from yesterday, as the 7-day average approaches the minimum daily tests recommended by @HarvardGH.

States reported almost 24k new cases.

The 7-day average has now risen for 8 days in a row. The regional dynamics are driving the trend.
The northeast has bottomed out, while the south and west are growing.

For the last two days, the state of Arizona alone has reported more new cases than the whole northeast. This was unimaginable even a few weeks ago.
Hospitalizations reflect the same trends. Arizona now has more people hospitalized than NY.

(Note: Florida might be on the right-hand list, but it does not provide this metric.)
Texas reported 4k new confirmed cases yesterday with some caveats. Today, the state reported 3,129 — without the caveats.
Among states that had an early outbreak, most are now in decent shape with lots of testing and very new cases. NY, for example, had a positive rate under 1% today.

Louisiana may be an exception. Cases are rising again and now hospitalizations have stopped falling, too.
States reported 782 new deaths.

The 7-day average is now ~650. We've only had one day in June where states reported more than 1000 deaths.

Today's deaths—because of the duration of the disease and data reporting lags—probably reflect infections that occurred in mid-May.
