U.S. COVID-19 Deaths Dip Below 300 A Day

The US is experiencing a significant decrease in COVID-19 deaths, now under 300 daily, compared to over 3400 in January. COVID-19, once the third leading cause of death, has dropped in rank as cases decline and 45% of Americans are fully vaccinated. However, vaccine demand has decreased since April, particularly among younger adults, who are more hesitant due to safety concerns. The CDC reports that vaccination rates are highest among those 65 and older, while the lowest rates are seen in the 18-29 age group.
