Daily New U.S. Coronavirus Cases Fall For The First Time In 7 Days

New daily Coronavirus cases in the United States fell for the first time in over a week, according to the latest numbers from Worldometers.

On Sunday March 29th, the US registered 18,469 new daily Coronavirus cases, which was down from 19,452 on Saturday. This could very well mark the beginning of a "peak" in new Coronavirus cases in the United States.

While the "total" case number is still seeing steady growth, this drop in "daily new" cases could mean that the exponential spread of the virus has come to a grinding halt.

This could be a reporting anomaly due to some weekend effect, or it might be a real turning point.

The article goes on to say: "As you can see from the chart above, new daily cases were growing by leaps and bounds on a daily basis until Sunday,

From March 21 to March 22 alone, our new daily cases skyrocketed from 4,825 to 9,400. From March 25 to March 26, the daily cases grew from 13,355 to 17,224.

This pattern continued for several days until the final number was tallied on Sunday, registering at "only" 18,469, down over 1,000 new cases from Saturday.

Yes, our "total" case count is still growing by what could be considered an alarming rate, but we need to look deeper into the numbers.

The fact that the daily "new" cases appear to be slowing down means that the virus is not spreading at the frightening rate it had been.

Take note, the cases that are showing up now are cases that likely originated 5-7 days ago. That means our nationwide efforts to enforce "social distancing" are working just like Trump said they would. (KEEP IT UP!)

Another reason these numbers are incredibly encouraging is because we're TESTING more people than ever before. On Sunday, our country conducted 95,000 tests alone, yet we still registered over 1,000 less cases than the previous day.

We're not saying the pain is over yet, but this drop in new cases is the first glimpse of the light at the end of the tunnel for our country.

Cases may very well jump back above 20k on Monday, but as long as we have stopped the exponential growth of new cases per day, we are well on our way to defeating this invisible enemy once and for all."

Wow!

One day is not a pattern.

Worldometers corrected Sunday’s totals to 19913, blaming it on late reporting from NY. Still, the rate of growth has declined in NY and it’s not accelerating appreciably over the last several days.

Since we are increasing the numbers of tests performed (I think), this is good news. Means they’re finding fewer cases out of more samples.

Unfortunately, today’s death toll is going in the wrong direction and will be a new high.

could also be a mark of it being Sunday.

[nbenyo]

573 died today, I believe yesterday was 363, Saturday was 525, Friday was 408.

Not good, but not apocalyptic.

[JohnBrowdie]

figured

[ConservativeMind]

I want to see a ton of new cases and antibody tests on anyone who thought they could have had it. “More tests” does not equate to “more deaths!”

That death rate will be tiny compared with what everyone fears.

[exDemMom]

The worldwide new cases also dropped from Sunday to Monday. It is too early to tell if this represents a turning point or just a decreased test load on Sunday.

I try to record the case data every day around the same time.

From 9 am Mar 29 to 7 am Mar 30, there were 52,176 new cases.

From 7 am Mar 30 to 9:41 pm Mar 30, there were 52,563 new cases.

So it really looks like the drop in new cases was due to a decrease in testing on Sunday.

By tomorrow morning when I normally check the numbers, worldwide cases will be over 800,000.

"One day is not a pattern."

Yeah agreed ... the peak will come in the next couple weeks probably but if this is it ... it's earlier than expected.

Purely visually sampling ... most countries' numbers, even the more developed counties with more reliable reporting ... do tend to show at least one significant drop day or couple days and then resume the trend back up.

So it's likely this is a false summit

On the other hand, there does appear to be a few days of starting-to-level ... maybe approaching the peak. .... maybe ...

It’s hard to base anything on just one day numbers, but I’v been running a two day rolling daily average, and the percentage increase has been dropping, from 55% increase on 03/19 to 18% Sunday. The average increase over the last 4 days has been stabilizing around 18,000 cases. This is very good news.

The CDC changed its data collection system to rely on state reporting, so I hope data isn’t getting lost in the state transfer of information.

Rush Andrew Cuomo all the countries remaining ventilation equipment that he didn’t buy instead of helping illegal aliens. Everyone else in the country be damned. Nuke NY, blame chin and North Korea, then vaporize the guilty. Might have to send one to Martha vineyard Obama’s house. 10KT should do for the fag and the mouch.

Covid-19 is caused by a SARS virus. In fact the virus itself is called SARS-CoV-2, the pandemic’s name is Covid-19.

The original SARS erupted in November 2002. Peaked around May. Was gone by July 2003. Maybe if we get very lucky this one will have a shorter lifespan.

[xkaydet65]

Up over 20k today

[gibsonguy]

The testing continues to ramp up so the cases almost certainly will. One is not a trend.

Don’t lose hope!! More people gonna die!
