The coronavirus data appears to be improving across the board as cases slow and the curve begins to slope downhill.

Although reported cases of COVID-19 continue to grow at 30,000 to 34,000 per day, we're seeing good progress being made as the rate of growth across the states slows remarkably.

COVID-19 cases are on a tear as the U.S. surpassed 300,000 reported deaths approach 8,500. Globally, in excess of 110,000 were added in the past 24 hours.

While the pace of U.S. coronavirus cases slows, more than 32,000 are falling ill every day.

In the past 24 hours, the number of reported COVID-19 cases around the world surpassed the 1 million mark, with almost a quarter of all cases being in the United States. Global deaths have soared past 50,000, reaching 54,369 according to Johns Hopkins.

The COVID-19 death rate in the United States pushed past the 3,000 mark, reaching 3,073 as of this morning. That’s an increase of 24 percent or 587, the largest one-day death toll for the U.S.

It’s Monday morning, which means back to work for those lucky enough to still have jobs and back to our screens for the rest of us as we rush to see this morning’s harvest of coronavirus news, more shutdowns and the unending assault of bickering politicians. But for anyone looking into the details there is some good news.

America has now suffered 2,133 deaths from the coronavirus, more than a third of them in New York State. That’s an increase of 487, or 30 percent, since yesterday. In another sad milestone, Italy surpassed 10,000 deaths, a point the U.S. could reach in a week if we continue to progress at our current rate.

I awoke this morning to the news that 17,962 people in the U.S. were known to have COVID-19, an increase of 5,570 or 45 percent in 24 hours. There have been 44 new deaths, bringing to total to at least 239. Globally, there are more than 284,000 cases and close to 12,000 deaths.
