Covid continues to recede in the United States, and after weeks of surging cases nationwide, daily counts are starting to trend in the right direction nationwide. As of Tuesday morning, 41 U.S. states are now recording declining daily Covid infections over the past two weeks. Those that are continuing to see cases grow are generally less dense states where it took longer for the variant to take hold.Overall, the U.S. is recording a 36 percent decrease in cases over the past seven days, averaging 469,770 per day, down from 736,221 a week ago. It is the first time since January 3 that the daily case average has dropped below a half million, a milestone in the drop in cases being recorded by the country.The east coast states that fueled the record Omicron surge during December and early January - causing cases to peak around 800,000 per day last month - are now fueling the sharp decrease in cases as well.
