Figure 1

Changes in Covid-19 cases per capita relative to changes in the number of tests for countries and states in the USA. Panels show the growth in weekly cases and tests (in logarithms of the per capita rate) for (A) countries and (B) States in the USA that have reported Covid-19 cases. Data compares the week ending April 10th, 2020, with the previous week. (A) β = 0.86; 95% CI 0.57–1.15; p < 0.001; (B) β = 0.17; 95% CI 0.03–0.31; p = 0.02. The Supplementary material shows a higher elasticity for (B) if we restrict logarithmic week-on-week changes of testing rates between − 1 and + 1.5, the range observed in the global sample. In Supplementary Material, Figure S1: β = 0.54, p < 0.0001, 95%CI: 0.36–0.71. Names and abbreviations for countries and US States are included in the Supplementary Material’s Table S5.
