Daily Coronavirus Deaths in U.S. Continue to Plummet as Confirmed Cases Hit Record Levels

Coronavirus-linked deaths across the U.S. continued on a downward trend as of Monday afternoon, even after the country hit historic levels in the number of new confirmed cases late last week, a Breitbart News analysis of the seven-day average of fatalities showed.

Health experts have warned about the lag between infection identification and death that could take weeks or more, which means the fatalities could increase down the road. The current spike in the number of cases intensified almost three weeks ago around mid-June.

A moving average of cases and deaths reported each day provides a clearer picture of the COVID-19 (coronavirus disease) pandemic because the daily numbers tend to fluctuate.

As of Monday, the seven-day average of deaths in the United Statescontinued to plunge, according to data maintained by the COVID-Tracking Project, the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) at the University of Washington, USAFacts.org, Worldometer, and even the New York Times.

Our daily update is published. Six states (AR/CT/KS/KY/NH/RI) did not report by our publish time today. Based on past numbers, it looks like many more states reduced testing and reporting over the holiday weekend.

Deaths lag hospitalizations by 14-21 days and the younger group currently affected will also have reduced mortality. That being said most third world countries are handling the pandemic much better than the US. A product of better leadership.

758 and smaller populations too. USA has 50 states, some with pops bigger than many countries impacted.

Exactly right, a product of better leadership indeed.

The Script says a national plan is right around the corner, outlining the way ahead as well as guidance for the states. A national plan will work, not 50 states doing whatever.

I get it, states have control...constitution, Bill of rights, Declaration of Independence, Legislative, Judicial and Executive branches of gov't. Blah Blah Blah.

National emergency (yes we are still in a national emergency) requires a national plan and guidance for states.

Nothing will be taken away from any of us. There are too many of us to allow that to happen anyways.

According to the USDebtClock.org ~330 Million folks (US population) and counting!

7:58 and 9:16. What would be better leadership? What esteemed scientists and doctors should we be getting our info from? Seems to me the elite CDC and WHO have gotten it all wrong. Fauci is worthless. You have to admit that the real numbers are fake.

Please 7:58 and 9:16. You sound like a couple of imbeciles. Why is it you people always need the government to tell you what to do? Try using your head for once in your life though it's doubtful you people even have working brains. It's not rocket science. Wash hands keep hands from face, limit going out wear a mask if you want to.
This is not some deadly virus that needs a plan much less a national one. It's behaving like every single other virus and infection. All of them have the same potential to be not only deadly but to affect other parts of the body.
One of the major reasons hospitalizations and/or deaths are going down has everything to do with hydroxychloroquine being prescribed. Prescriptions for this drug are up 2000 percent this year.
