This is good news. Only 12.03% of the tests were positive. Here’s a link to a Google Sheet collecting the data.

Good information, but who maintains this? Is this on the State site?
This is essential information. Thanks for providing it. That said, it would be infinitely more digestible and meaningful with some graphics, trend lines, and comparisons with other cities and states around the country. Data like this should not be presented in text form.
Martin, we’ve been sending this daily story out since the beginning of the pandemic. It is meant to be a quick, snapshot look at the basic numbers the health department reports each day. We include a link every day to the actual state dashboard where much more information is available for those who are interested in it. We have incorporated a lot of the deeper data and trends into our other coverage.
Patrick, I’m not sure how good the news is that the positive rate on testing reduced to 12% b/c the parameters of who can get tested has changed a bit and that causing two things: More testing (which is GREAT) and a wider scope of those tested. You don’t need a referral from your Primary, you don’t have to be presenting symptoms, so the results should mean lower rate. There is good news in the increase of positive Covid tests in that it has been decelerating. Last Friday, the 7day avg of the daily increase was 4.5%, and as of today the 7day avg increase is 3.15%. That is a 30% decrease in the growth rate. Still growing, but like Mario, it’s slowing down! YAY! This needs to be watched closely as we reopen the economy in Indiana. If this re-accelerates, we could have a probably on our hands.
Also, interesting the counties across from Louisville have impressively low numbers-considering they’re part of a large metro areas…what are they doing right??? And what are we doing wrong in the Indy metro area? Make one wonder.
I’ve noticed over the past few weeks that although the number of new cases keeps going up and up, the % of ICU beds & ventilators being used by COVID patients keeps going down. Does that most of these new cases are not “serious” cases? Are these “cases” being called cases in that the people are actually sick with the virus or just that they have tested positive and may have no symptoms? I would like to see IBJ provide some perspective on all these new cases.
