Covid deaths in the U.S. are on the rise, and are approaching worrying levels not reached since the tale end of last winter's surge - which is still the deadliest of the pandemic. The nation is averaging 2,259 deaths per day this week, the highest total since February 17, 2021. Hope could be on the horizon, though, as deaths often lag behind Covid cases, which have been on a decline in recent weeks - especially along the east coast.According to data from Johns Hopkins University, daily cases have dropped by 13 percent over the past seven days, down to 639,723 per day from 773,771 per day. It appears that the U.S. is beyond the peak of the surge - with cases eclipsing 800,000 per day last week then coming down again quickly.
