Maine

The other number that jumps off the page is New York's testing ramp. But it's actually 4th in per-capita testing behind Washington, Maine, and New Mexico. https://t.co/HmeRyEjyrV

We were very happy to see Maine (@mepublichealth) add race and ethnicity data today.

But there's a long way to go. Few states report comprehensively.

Another 7 states — HI, ME, MT, NM, SD, UT, WY — are not reporting race / ethnicity for deaths.

TX is reporting but >70% of cases and deaths are listed as unknown.

Some data is better than none, but it's still not enough.

Only 4 states—HI, ME, NH, VT—have fewer than 100 people per million hospitalized with COVID-19. South Dakota and Nebraska have the most people hospitalized per capita, with North Dakota, Illinois, and Indiana close behind. https://t.co/mxRLdjJQvH

Zooming into the state level, more than 10 states broke case records today: AK, AR, AZ, DE, IN, MA, ME, NJ, PA, RI, and VT. Note: AZ had a higher count on Dec. 1, but it was a data backlog. https://t.co/ao6T6EQxiH

For our API users: Yesterday, we switched totalTestResults to use values from totalTestsViral instead of being calculated from positive+negative in 4 states: IL, ME, MI, and SD.

The changes in ME dropped totalTestResults by around 40k. The changes in IL made no impact to the value of totalTestResults at the topline but may have shifted earlier values.
