Southern U.S. states, which were hit hardest by the COVID-19 pandemic, are seeing a progressive drop in coronavirus cases, the director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said on Thursday.

“Hopefully, by this week and next week we will see the death rate really start to drop ,” CDC Director Robert Redfield said in an interview to the Journal of the American Medical Association.

The United States has more than 5 million cases of confirmed coronavirus infections, the highest in the world, according to a Reuters tally. However, Redfield warned that data from 21 U.S. states showed there was no drop in coronavirus cases for states such as Nebraska and Oklahoma.Reporting By Mrinalika Roy in Bengaluru; Editing by Shounak Dasgupta

Herd immunity here we come

Just wait until about 2 weeks after most schools with in-person classes re-open. Those numbers will be right back up there. We have no realistic plan, just Trump’s vain hope that somehow this will make the economy recover. Dear President Trump - those kids aren’t the unemployed.

Maybe because they are not reporting them?

Testing stopped?

Was there any discussion of whole families exhibiting COVID symptoms, visiting their doctors and testing locations, and being told, 'Yeah, you've probably got COVID, but don't bother getting tested, just give us a call when you're in significant distress,' ?

A must watch for the entire globe. Take it from one of the world’s top epidemiologists, Dr. Raj Bhopal.

'STFU it's not November yet' - the left

Since the WH stopped the CDC from releasing results?! A Christmas miracle!

Don't believe it.

This guy should be called to testify before Congress!! He would crumble in a minute

Drop in reporting and lack testing not drop in actual cases

Bullshit

Ever since TrumpAdmin 'shook up' the reporting process? Trump administration orders hospitals to bypass CDC in reporting COVID data July 15

Hope this will be a trend across the country. Good news.

Not Oklahoma
