CCP virus fatalities in the United States have dropped to an average of around 625 per day, lows not seen since last summer’s trough that was followed by a deadly resurge that peaked in January with an average of some 3,740 daily deaths.

White House senior advisor for the COVID-19 response, Andy Slavitt, told a press briefing Thursday that various outbreak metrics were showing improvement.
