The United States just recorded a seven-day average of fewer than 20,000 new covid-19 cases per day for the first time since March 2020.
United States records daily average of less than 20,000 new covid-19 cases per day
Since March 20, the United States has only seen a daily average of less than 20,000 new Covid 19 cases per day.
According to data from Johns Hopkins University, the daily average of new cases dropped to about 17,248 on Monday.
However, this figure could be lower than reality, as some cases have not yet been reported over weekends and Memorial Day vacations.
Nonetheless, it is an astonishing milestone that comes after more than a year of loss and suffering in the field and around the world.
In March of last year, the number of Covid 19 infections and spaminalization began to rise rapidly, and deaths followed.
At least 80% of the country’s population was ordered to stay at home. That was the first of several crushing waves.
According to Johns Hopkins University, more than 33 million Americans are infected with the coronavirus, and more than 594,000 died; both figures are probably insufficient to estimate the actual number of victims of the pandemic.
But now the United States is heading in the right direction, thanks to a strong ally in the battle against the pandemic: covid-19 vaccines.
On Tuesday, New York reported its lowest positivity rate since the start of the pandemic, said Mayor Bill de Blasio, who attributed the milestone to vaccination and the “willpower of New Yorkers.”
“This is another clear proof that New York City is coming back strong,” the mayor said.”
“We are going to rid New York City of the covirus once and for all.”
More than 50% of the U.S.
population has at least one dose of the Covid-19 vaccine and more than 40% of the country is fully vaccinated.
