Coronavirus Disease-2019 Case, Death, and Testing Rates in the United States and Worldwide: Primary Data and Review	2020-10-14		.txt	text/plain	3995	232	60	ABSTRACT Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19), due to the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), has been associated with a world-wide pandemic, with the United States (US) having the largest total number of cases and deaths (>7 million and >200,000, respectively) at this time. We assessed data as of September 1, 2020 from our combined laboratories and as reported for selected states and countries for case, death, and testing rates per 1 million in the population. Our positive rates per state agreed reasonably well with reported Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) data (r=0.609, P<0.0001) based on 19,898 cases, 593 deaths, and 271,637 tests, all per 1 million in the US population. 7 Our goals were to assess our own data as well as available US and worldwide data in terms of cases, deaths, and testing per 1 million in the population, in order to examine potential causes for the large rate differences observed between states and countries.	./cache/cord-327661-osx42wdh.txt	./txt/cord-327661-osx42wdh.txt
