COVID Hits Lowest Numbers In More Than A Year

COVID-19 numbers are continuing to plummet, with just 222 deaths related to the virus on Sunday.

That number is the lowest reported since March 23, 2020, more than a year ago.

OurWorldInData.org has been tracking the pandemic since March 2020, and the graphs are beginning to look promising.

Experts are chalking up the declining rates mostly to the availability of vaccine. At the same time, many states are relaxing their guidelines related to masks and social distancing. So like most things related to the pandemic, there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason.

It's more like one big guessing game, and according to the recent numbers, it appears COVID may be finally running its course on its own.
