US surpasses 50,000 daily coronavirus cases for the first time, according to The Washington Post
, the US reported 46,853 new daily cases on Wednesday — less than the number reported by The Post but still a record high.Johns Hopkins UniversityIt took a few weeks for the impacts of reopenings to become evident. That's because several weeks can pass between when somebody comes into contact with the virus, and when they start to show symptoms or seek a test. From there, processing a test can take up to a week.
This spike in coronavirus cases is probably not a reflection of increased testing. In Louisiana, Gov. John Bel Edwards has said that the rise in cases is "more than can be fairly attributed to the growth in testing," especially since hospitalizations have risen steeply alongside case counts. What's more, the percentage of coronavirus tests coming back positive is now increasing in many states that are seeing the biggest surges, such as Arizona, Texas, Florida, Oklahoma, and Nevada — a sign that rising rates of infection, rather than increased testing, are driving the surge.
