Axios: “America’s daily rate climbed faster and higher (due in part to its larger population), but appears to have peaked at around 30,000 new cases per day in the first week of April.”
“But rather than falling, the rate stagnated. Outside of New York (which has bent its curve) the rate is actually continuing to climb.”
“The U.S. continues to record several times as many new cases each day as any other country has at any time during the pandemic.”
