President Trump has said the growing number of coronavirus cases is due to increased testing. But our analysis shows the rise in cases far outpaces the growth in testing.

Testing has grown 80% since early June. Daily case counts have grown 215%. https://t.co/dpfN0bbwXG

So last week, CDC got kneecapped from getting the #COVID19 hospitalization data. Trump HHS forced all hospitals across country to shift to a new private system not controlled by CDC....

...and it is going as well as you can imagine. As in, TERRIBLE. https://t.co/B9zWCXHtrE

This is a feat of reporting. The federal government is still not reporting on local hospitalization trends. So @nytimes journalists gathered the data themselves. https://t.co/4sPesnOvMq

Testing shortages—and week-long lags in receiving test results—are crippling the test, trace, and voluntary isolation efforts needed to curb the pandemic. But good news may be on the horizon.https://t.co/W6w9hx6AwK

The CDC said instead of 2 negative tests, you now don’t need any to be considered recovered. Just 10 days.

That’s not how it worked it other countries. But they had more tests.https://t.co/fjtsGxoVOZ via @NYTimes

Georgia has the most new hospitalisations per capita

Florida and Arizona are second and third highest

Arkansas, Virginia, and Oklahoma follow

Alabama may be higher but excluded due to data inconsistencies#CoronaVirusUpdate #COVID19 pic.twitter.com/VmQGzh0euF
