America is finally winning its fight against the coronavirus – Axios

Americas battle against the coronavirus is going great.

The big picture: For the first time in a long time, nobody needs to cherry-pick some misleading data to make it seem like things are going well, and the good news doesnt need an endless list of caveats, either. Its just really good news. Were winning. Be happy.

By the numbers: The U.S. averaged fewer than 40,000 new cases per day over the past week.

Deaths from the coronavirus are at their lowest level since last July about 600 per day, on average, per the AP, and may soon hit their lowest point of the entire pandemic. Nationally, hospitalization rates are also falling significantly.

The U.S. is finally winning its battle against COVID-19 thanks almost exclusively to one weapon: the vaccines.

Whats next: Almost 60% of American adults have gotten at least one shot, and roughly 45% are fully vaccinated. The next step: vaxxing the 12- to 15-year-olds.
