Covid-2019 - 2020-08-12

Date: 
Thursday, August 13, 2020
Summary: 

After a week of improvement everywhere, a backwards day with global cases rising. There's a weird data anomaly in the reporting of US testing -- a sudden drop, leading to the appearance of a jump in test-positivity. Some labs, especially in Florida, are failing to report negatives (Sen. Marco Rubio had to tweet about it yesterday).
