The average daily number of tests in the United States is declining, what do health experts say?

U.S. public health experts say the U.S. coronavirus testing system has collapsed.

The United States is currently the country with the largest number of people tested per capita, with about 204 people tested per 100,000 people per day, and the cumulative number of confirmed cases in the United States now accounts for about a quarter of the world's confirmed cases.

However, the average daily number of tests in the United States has fallen over the past two weeks, and the rate of positive tests is rising, with an average of 18% of new daily cases falling each day. Some public health experts have attributed the decline in infections to a decline in the number of coronavirus tests, giving evidence that some high-risk states are seeing an increase in positive tests, but the average daily number of tests in those states is declining.

The World Health Organization recommends that countries** maintain a positivity rate of 5% or less for at least 14 days, or risk lockdowns to control the outbreak.

Currently, 35 states in the United States have a positivity rate above 5%, and 13 states have a positivity rate above 10%. The average number of daily tests in Texas is down 45% from July, while the positive test rate in Texas has doubled from 12% in the past two weeks to 24%. The average number of daily tests in Arizona has dropped by 36%, but the rate of positive tests is more than 10%; Florida's average daily test count has dropped by 27 percent, while the rate of positive tests is more than 10 percent.

Due to the long test result cycle and insufficient testing volume in the United States, it is difficult for new cases to be detected in time and the spread of the epidemic cannot be controlled. It takes more than seven days for a testing laboratory in the U.S. to issue a test report to the tester. A week later, when some people get the report and find out that they have tested positive, they are likely to have spread the virus to family, friends, and many others.

Carolyn Canusio, a social epidemiologist and head of the U.S. COVID Contact Tracing Program, said: "Part of the reason there is a huge need for testing in the U.S. is that there are massive outbreaks in the U.S. Our testing system has collapsed, which has led to our failed contact tracing because people have been waiting for test results for so long, we have missed the critical period when these people are advised to isolate at home, and we are unable to track people they may have been in contact with while they were not diagnosed. ”

Health experts say the testing system has collapsed, which is a big misfortune for the United States, pray to them.

1. It's not that the number of infections in the United States is declining, it's that the number of people tested in the United States is declining. 2. The shutdown of work and production in the United States has caused many people to lose their jobs and have no livelihood, so they often give up testing.

One of the reasons for the huge demand for testing in a country is due to the period of mass transmission of an epidemic in a country. In one country, the long cycle of test results and the insufficient volume of testing made it difficult to detect new cases in a timely manner and to control the spread of infectious diseases. Our detection system collapsed and people waited a long time for test results to track their contacts.

We missed the critical period when these people were recommended to stay home, and we were unable to track them during the undiagnosed period. Those have been in contact.

This shows that the situation of the pneumonia epidemic in the United States should have improved, and it is not so important.

This shows that the new coronavirus testing system in the United States has collapsed, and it is difficult to continue to prevent and control the epidemic.

The average daily number of tests has fallen, and U.S. public health experts say the coronavirus testing system has collapsed. Due to the long testing cycle and insufficient testing volume, the epidemic in the United States is breaking out on a large scale.

This may be because the number of confirmed cases in the United States is declining, so they have reduced the number of tests, or it may be because the United States** no longer attaches importance to testing and has given up on itself.
