States reported 2 million tests, 223k cases, 128,947 people currently hospitalized with COVID-19, and 3,915 deaths. The bright spot is our most consistent metric: current hospitalizations.

Testing data may be back online after the holidays and case data is beginning to stabilize. As noted, we seem to be seeing the first signs of hospitalizations slowing down at a national level. https://covidtracking.com/analysis-updates/soaring-death-numbers-and-highly-regional-outbreaks-this-week-in-covid-19-data-jan-14 https://preview.redd.it/ze29dxx2tjb61.jpg?width=2434&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e6f1e8b2b0ca9aa82da6c80a6b707388859e694f https://preview.redd.it/ozrg5w0ftjb61.jpg?width=2856&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1888ac3314b2e1997de58099a1c3561c7ffb4e04 |
