The United States reported 358 covid-linked deaths today, down from 746 a week ago (Covid Tracking Project). Today's number is a new low. Sundays tend to be low reporting days, but if you follow the seven-day rolling average, that average is at 744 deaths per day, which is also a new low, down from 838 a week ago.
The number of new cases diagnosed each day continues to hang out at an average of about 20,000 per day. The number of tests conducted each day, on the other hand, continues to increase, so it's a matter of it taking more and more tests to find the same number of new infections. That suggests that the actual number of newly infected is still continuing to decline.
