COVID USA Numbers as of Apr 21
The seven-day average for new cases, after a surge in the past month, is now declining -- 10 percent in the past week, which reverses a month-long trend of increases. The average daily rate for new cases is 65,200 (Worldometer).
The seven-day average for deaths is declining still, but more slowly than two weeks ago. The flatness of the numbers is due, no doubt, to the recent increase in cases. The seven-day average for deaths is 736, the lowest average since October 19 -- six months ago. The next target will be the July 2020 low of 513, which is the lowest point after the COVID pandemic began to rage at the end of March in 2020.
