Insane. Around 400% of the peak in April. Death rate is wayyy lower though (going by Google's stats)
Yeah. This is why that 10x the number of actual cases over positive tests no longer holds true. Testing capabilities have grown immensely. We’re seeing numbers much closer to the actual number of infections now. And we’ll also see a more accurate death rate because of it (and even lower hopefully because of advancements in therapeutics). Death rate lags a few weeks behind cases, but hopefully France, Italy, UK, Spain, and others seeing these spikes can keep it to a minimum. Hopefully well under 1%.

middle America already catching on
I don’t know how accurate that Worldometers site is for the US (seems accurate for Europe, but higher than John Hopkins for US)... but according to its numbers, North Carolina, Ohio, Missouri, Indiana, Wisconsin, Michigan, North Dakota all broke their single day positive cases records.
