The positive rate continues to climb in the South and West.

In the South, the percentage of tests coming back positive has roughly doubled in the last month.

States reported 42k new cases today. The five highest days in our data are the last 5 days.

Here are the number of new cases reported on the last 5 Sundays:

6/21: 27,287
6/14: 21,240
6/7: 18,744
5/31: 21,575
5/24: 20,111

In the South and West, the number of new cases reported per day has doubled since June 15.

Despite the numbers you see here, more people were almost certainly infected at the peak of the spring outbreak than are infected now. Testing was strictly limited, and only caught a small % of cases.

But if the trends continue, this surge could reach or surpass those levels.
