382 Days with 1,000+ Covid Deaths

Twenty-five U.S. residents died of Covid-19 on April 10, 2022—the most recent data available from the CDC. This is the smallest daily death toll in more than two years—since March 16, 2020. There's a caveat here: April 10 was a Sunday, and fewer deaths are reported on weekends. But let's take our victories where we can. 

It's been a rough two years. A cumulative 982,809 U.S. residents have died of Covid-19 through April 10, 2022. Here are the stats on the daily count of deaths...

Number of days with more than 4,000 deaths: 2 
  • February 1, 2022: 4,182 deaths
  • January 13, 2021, 4,072 deaths. 
Number of days with 3,000-3,999 deaths: 41
Number of days with 2,000-2,999 deaths: 110
Number of days with 1,000-1,999 deaths: 229
Number of days with 500-999 deaths: 245
Number of days with 100-499 deaths: 120
Number of days with 1-99 deaths: 25

When will the daily death toll fall to zero on most days? Let's hope it's soon.
