Yes and you can export the data, I looked at it to see if I could extract the total # of tests in an area, but I think the data may not be accurate, use at your own risk or at least verify the numbers.
Here is a bunch:

(The Guardian, May 3, 2020):
It is a mystery that has left doctors questioning the basic tenets of biology: Covid-19 patients who are talking and apparently not in distress, but who have oxygen levels low enough to typically cause unconsciousness or even death. The phenomenon, known by some as “happy hypoxia” (some prefer the term “silent”) is raising questions about exactly how the virus attacks the lungs and whether there could be more effective ways of treating such patients. A healthy person would be expected to have an oxygen saturation of at least 95%. But doctors are reporting patients attending A&E with oxygen percentage levels in the 80s or 70s, with some drastic cases below 50%.

“Spike mutation pipeline reveals the emergence of a more transmissible form of SARS-CoV-2”
We have developed an analysis pipeline to facilitate real-time mutation tracking in SARS-CoV-2, focusing initially on the Spike (S) protein because it mediates infection of human cells and is the target of most vaccine strategies and antibody-based therapeutics. To date we have identified fourteen mutations in Spike that are accumulating. Mutations are considered in a broader phylogenetic context, geographically, and over time, to provide an early warning system to reveal mutations that may confer selective advantages in transmission or resistance tointerventions. Each one is evaluated for evidence of positive selection, and the implications of the mutation are explored through structural modeling. The mutation Spike D614G is of urgent concern; it began spreading in Europe in early February, and when introduced to new regions it rapidly becomes the dominant form. Also, we present evidence of recombination between locally circulating strains, indicative of multiple strain infections. These finding have important implications for SARS-CoV-2 transmission, pathogenesis and immune interventions.

damn, interesting is the mortality rates of many EU countries.
Especially France and UK 14.8% and 15% respectively.
Then the sheer number of infections and deaths in the US, i suppose it could be seen as some small consolation the mortality rate is at 5.8% in comparison.
Still horrific numbers whichever way you look at it.
really, this is just a terrible indictment on a lack of preparedness and leadership
I came across a Danish article that mentioned a new antibody that blocks SARS-CoV-2-infection. The paper is pure science-gibberish:

But the qualified people that read it, were very excited about it. Let’s hope!

“Pseudotyped virus neutralization assay”
I took you literally (for a short time) about the “purity of gibberish”. That is a real (fake) thing, you know:
Generate a rather compelling gibberish paper: https://thatsmathematics.com/mathgen/
One was accepted by a scientific journal: https://thatsmathematics.com/blog/archives/102

Don’t know why this happened yesterday, but they reported the lowest number of new cases since March 29. Has to be a fluke. Pending results maybe not yet repoted?

That is why accurate numbers is really important, the omnisci.com/demos/covid-19 seems accurate 24 hours ago, and the numbers change fast that makes a huge difference. But the omnisci demo can give you the number of the negative and positive tests, so you can do some maths and get the infection rate. unfortunately because of the way the data is being acquired the other calculations may be way off. Right now though i calculate in my state (AR) 1 in 10 are infected, luckily the mortality rate is just 2.4% less than 2% of the state population has been tested. OKlahoma right next door is doing about the same except much worse on their mortality rate.
I’m not having a lot of faith in my government or the media, I think I am under attack and I must try to survive. I think it is going to get worse, but i’m over armed in case it escalates, and we are ready to bug out in 1 hour. conspiracy-theories-was-it-a-accident-or-planned-hunan

If it is the same as where I live it is because they slowed down on testing.

All I’ve read about Missouri is that they’ve continually increased testing and still are. Heck, I dunno though.

Gotta hope for any possibility. I still like the idea of nicotine kills it, I been telling everyone to start vaping so they don’t get CoV3

Biggest problem with that is (my state), as far as I know anyway- they are still much more focused on testing symptomatic individuals, so it stands to reason that the infection rates will be higher based on that. I only read one article where asymptomatic people were tested en masse, and that was a meat plant where known positives were already working there. I think it will be a while before we have any solid total % numbers.

True true, same here, they tested some prisons and the numbers jumped way up.

You’re Arkansas if I recall? If so, and if you believe the numbers, at least if something does happen to you there will be resources available. That ‘curve flattening’ thing does seem to have had some benefits as intended.

Yes AR
Believe me anyone who has to go to a hospital here for any reason will have a lower chance of survival.
I have my AR dashboard with all the current information, I could not find the total tests for MO in my quick search.
and I still think the lack of a curve is due to the dismal number of tests preformed

More testing is needed for sure. But that link I posted is simply real data for hospital bed use (and future projections), which isn’t necessarily a factor of test results. It’s numbers for people with C-19 that required hospital services.
Data is all over the place and not always easy to find. I do have this site bookmarked which shows US test statistics. Shows different numbers than your link, which I don’t find surprising.
