The number of Americans newly diagnosed with the coronavirus is falling - a development experts say most likely reflects more mask-wearing but also insufficient testing - even as the disease continues to claim nearly 1,000 lives in the U.S. each day.

About 43,000 new cases are being reported daily across the country, down 21% from early August, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University. While the U.S., India and Brazil still have the highest numbers of new cases in the world, the downward trend is encouraging.

Even at 43,000 new cases per day, the U.S. remains far above the numbers seen during the spring, when new daily cases peaked at about 34,000, he said.The virus is blamed for more than 5.7 million confirmed infections and about 178,000 deaths in the U.S. Worldwide, the death toll is put at more than 810,000, with about 23.7 million cases.

The decline in newly reported cases in the U.S. comes even as deaths from the virus remain alarmingly high. Over the past two weeks, officials have reported an average of 965 deaths a day from COVID-19, down from 1,051 a day in early August. In Arizona, for example, officials reported 859 new cases Tuesday, down from a peak of 5,500 in late June. More than 2,000 people arrived at the state's hospitals showing symptoms of the virus on a single day in early July. This week, that number has been less than 1,000.

In Leeds, Alabama, Will Heath said he has seen greater adherence to mask rules around town, whether in stores or at his 5-year-old daughter's cheerleading practice.

Now that's bullshit

Let's hope this is the turning for them😷🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇨🇦

Masks are the uniform for Marxist morons that can't even be bothered to be informed. They just follow government orders and make demands that all around them follow them to. Remember the businesses and people that scolded and threatened you when this is over.

On the other hand, there are enough stupid stubborn science averse Americans to keep things going for so,e time yet. We have similar knuckleheads here in Canada.

Holy shit. Last week the US cases were out of control! Karen’s the world over kept spewing phrases like ‘look at our neighbors down south, look at Florida, look at Texas. And NOW because there is more and more pushback, positives are dropping. 🤡🌎

Of course, never that herd immunity thingy

🙄 Sweden no masks = cases declined

What a shocker. Jesus Murphy have all Americans lost their minds!!! You’re late to the party, as usual

Did we flatten the curve yet

Lololol

LIke in Sweden? Or is it simply that all pandemics more or less follow the same curve?

Pretty sure numbers mysteriously went down when trump said the numbers are not to be sent to CDC anymore.

The coronavirus is CCP virus! Only The Truth of COVID-19 is the key to end this pandemic.

Why is that lady SHOOTING that child in the head?

The experts are wrong

Experts, like the ones from the debunked Lancet Report, the cretins that told us closing the border was racist, March/April masks do not work, but now magically do, that protests are o.k. but no other gatherings are allowed, that use tests that create false positives......

Here in the GTA it's WTF!

And MSNBC and CNN credits BLM looters and rioters.

lol trying to take credit with masks when all the other countries with hard lockdowns/masks are having massive resurgences.

Duh!

They look for things to make themselves appear right. Selective reasoning!!! We all do it.

Don't understand how considering the .125 micron size. I think the shoe would more effective.

The 'experts' have got literally EVERYTHING WRONG from day one of the fake Pandemic. It's all about politics and control. Biggest scam in modern times.

It's all a lie and CTV News is part of that lie.

Here's comes the QAnon idiots spewing bullshit in 3...2...1...

Sure keep pushing the mask option. Can't be that maybe it could be another reason? fearmongering covidmillionaires COVID__19
