The daily new case count continues extremely slow decline. More of a drift than a trend. In any case, U.S. now stands at 27 new cases per 100K population per day, down one from three days ago.
Hospitalizations are at about 5300 per day. Deaths are just below 400 per day.
Data source for this and other graphs of new case counts: Calculated from The New York Times. (2021). Coronavirus (Covid-19) Data in the United States.

In any case, that ends the data reporting week. New data for most states will be reported next Tuesday.
