The U.S. is now averaging about as many deaths per day from Covid-19 as it was in April when the pandemic ambushed the New York area.
The seven-day average of reported fatalities rose to 2,201 on Sunday, just one shy of the peak on April 18, according to Johns Hopkins University data. Average daily deaths had been predicted in the range of 1,643 to 1,886 through Dec. 26, according to a four-week forecast from the University of Massachusetts Amherst’s Reich Lab.
