Why don't they tell number of tests for each day also? Drives me mad that we don't get that info also

There's a lot of percentages they're not sharing right now, which I don't appreciate.

The other thing that annoys me is they aren't giving any information on the people that test positive or whether there is any obvious transmission route.

It matters if somebody has recently traveled or not when people are assessing risk. We have cases in some relatively backwoods places, and if they aren't largely from people that have some idea of where they might have caught it, that tells us a lot about the likely prevalence in the area.

Exactly. I don't know if they're hiding the impact or don't have reliable ways to track the info or what, but the task force lady said in a WH briefing two days ago that she had just received a large amount of data that should help start helping us understand the impacts more. Then radio silence for days... I know testing was delayed for whatever reason at the outbreak, but now that everyone understands how severe this is why would we be waiting to share all the underlying data?
