California has tested 5 million specimens for Covid-19. More than any other state including New York.

During the entire month of June, the state went from above 50,000 tests per day to well over 100,000 tests per day. Yet infection rates and death rates remain flat.

Tests in California more than doubled between June 1 and July 7, from about 2 million to 5 million. And cases roughly tripled. But the death rate remains between 1% and 2%, while the infection rate is relatively flat between 5% and 11%.
