Coronavirus Cases Recede, Deaths Remain Low in Sunbelt

The random case surges in countries that "Crushed the curve" or mandated masks, the way the Sunbelt has far fewer deaths than NY, the fact kids stubbornly refuse to get sick reality is winning.

Six of the estimated 15 states in the Sunbelt region are facing increases in the seven-day average of cases - California, Mississippi, Louisiana, New Mexico, Arkansas, and Oklahoma.

Echoing the situation in the Sunbelt, the single-day number of confirmed cases across the United States reached a peak number of over 77,000 ten days ago on July 17, data compiled by the COVID Tracking Project showed on Monday evening.

On Sunday and Monday, the COVID Tracking Project reported that single-day fatality figures across the United States reached low levels not seen since late March, likely driven by the low level of deaths in the Sunbelt states.

California, the most populous U.S. state, has overtaken fellow Democrat-run New York, the fourth state with the largest number of residents, and all others as the area with the most cumulative number of cases.

Even as the seven-day average of cases and deaths continue to climb in California, which now appears to be the new coronavirus epicenter, the cumulative number of fatalities in New York is higher than in any other state.

Some of the highest numbers of cases per one million residents are in some Sunbelt states.
