Tracking the Dynamics and Allocating Tests for COVID-19 in Real-Time: an Acceleration Index with an Application to French Age Groups and Departments	2020-11-07		.txt	text/plain	10376	513	59	Using French data on cases and tests for the period following the first lock-down from May 13, 2020, onwards our acceleration index shows that the ongoing pandemic resurgence can be dated to begin around July 7. We propose a parsimonious algorithm to allocate tests across age groups and space, based on both our acceleration index and the average positivity rate, and on the extent to which tests reduce the virus propagation. We argue that such reasoning is wrong and that the correct understanding, in terms of measuring the acceleration/deceleration of the pandemic, is gained if a scatter-plot of the number of positive cases against the number of the tests is used in real time, instead of the panels in Figure 1 .	./cache/cord-300520-vxn7uh41.txt	./txt/cord-300520-vxn7uh41.txt
