But the *non* New York numbers have also not been so bad over the past three days, with non-NY cases around ~20K per day (down from a peak of ~23K) and a positive test rate of 8-10% (down from a peak of ~16%). — PolitiTweet.org

New York did *not* report data on cases and tests today. (It *did* report data on deaths.) That matters less than it once did because NY's cases have fallen a lot and its positive test rate is now similar to that of the country overall. But it's worth nothing. — PolitiTweet.org

Have no idea if the improvement is sustainable. It may not be—especially if states relax restrictions. But a bit ironic we've had an optimistic 3-day period for new cases data (especially as a % of tests) at the same time the media narrative is about how new cases are exploding. — PolitiTweet.org
