(395 posts)Michigan only reported 370 cases instead of 5000+ earlier.
Over 25k cases were reported in total yesterday in the US.

(34,062 posts)They re-adjusted numbers today - all the way back to March, adding about 15,000 cases - so when I plugged today's number in my spreadsheet it looked like a 40,000 jump. (the 25,000 actual + 15,000 more spread between early March and now)
But the adjustment alters the number of prior daily cases. After adjustment, there were 25, 656 new cases last Friday (so the prior peak was only 7 days ago). The pattern seems to be that Fridays are the peak of the week.
This week's average is 22,590 - up slightly from 21,500 last week.

Some people were saying that the heat may make a positive difference. That ignores use of AC in those places, it goes up with the heat index. AC provides almost ideal conditions for SAR-COV-2 to survive for long periods on surfaces and hang in the air.
