Today, the United States reported 51,998 cases of the novel coronavirus, down from 54,184 a week ago (Covid Tracking Project). The graph of seven-day rolling average looks like it might be leveling off instead of continuing downward, but we'll have to wait and see.
We reported 1181 deaths today, down from 1253 a week ago. But if you look at the seven-day rolling average, it's been between 1000 and 1200 for 17 days now. Beyond that, it's difficult to talk about any "trend" in the deaths lately.
The usual graphs are attached.
