Gives a little picture of where we are in testing and how our test capabilities quickly outpaced our ability to get results reported. Not sure where the roadblock is, but interesting data, I thought.

I read we had conducted 370,000 tests as of Wednesday.

No idea. Hard to determine that total from the source I used to create the graph: https://covidtracking.com/about-tracker/

Their methods for counting seem reasonable, although given the poor reporting consistency there is no way that it is perfect. I do think that the graph is likely representative of the general trend.

Just heard we hit 500k tests on the radio a few mins ago

I know the U of M medical center went live this week with the first of three planned in-house covid-19 tests. Things are really about to ramp up fast.

I was told by Merit Health that UMMC has taken over all resting. Merit is no longer testing. Now, how is UMMC getting all of rural Mississippi tested?

Well, I was surprised to read that UMMC can only deliver 180 test results a day.
