Having a positive test rate <=10% is an important benchmark endorsed by the WHO and many epidemiologists, and the US has achieved that on 6 out of the past 7 days now. https://t.co/UyndYEZIUu — PolitiTweet.org

Incidentally, New York State's positive test rate is now equal to the country as a whole. Technically speaking *just barely* lower, in fact. It was 7.78% today vs. 7.81% for the US. NYC's positive test rate was 8.6% today, so even the city is basically at the national average. — PolitiTweet.org

@thehowie That's fair and ideally we'd have had enough testing (+ other countermeasures) early that the outbreak never got so bad to begin with. We totally failed on that front. But we have ramped up testing roughly as fast or faster than European countries that faced comparable outbreaks. — PolitiTweet.org
