Update on US COVID-19 Numbers, September 2
I was posting the COVID-19 updates almost daily and haven't in a while. There has been very little change over the past nine days. The seven-day average for new cases has dropped from 43,300 to 42,500 -- less than two percent (per Worldometers). The seven-day average of new deaths has dropped from 971 to 934 -- less than four percent.
This is really dismaying. I suppose returning to school will naturally spur contact and lead to new case, offsetting a more secular decline as Arizona, Florida, Texas. Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina and other states move past their peaks.
