CDC: COVID-Involved Deaths Drop 8.29% for Week Ending July 18
(Worthy News) – The most recent death certificates submitted to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention show that COVID-involved deaths in this country declined in the second half of July.
Based on CDC’s preliminary data, 4,081 people died of COVID-involved disease in the week ending July 18. That is an 8.29 percent decrease from the 4,450 who died of COVID in the prior week. And it is 75.97 percent below the mid-April peak of 16,985 COVID-involved deaths.
Preliminary data for the week ending July 25 shows that 1,780 people died of COVID. But as CDC notes, data in recent weeks is more likely to be incomplete. The numbers change as more death certificates come in, but it now appears to be a declining trend for the second half of July. [ Source: CNS News (Read More…) ]
