Asteep drop-off in new cases of COVID-19 has continued throughout March. As of March 20, the weekly increase in new cases was over 218,000, where a month ago it was about half a million, and two months ago, over five and a half million. This has happened amid (or “despite,” depending upon your level of mask credulity) a sharp decline in government mandates.
Based on the most recent government data, as of March 20 only about one American in a thousand could have conceivably transmitted COVID-19 to someone. In other words, an estimated 99.9 percent of people in the United States posed no threat to anyone of spreading the virus. Just over 458,000 Americans — fewer than half a million — had an active case of COVID-19.
Furthermore, over 98 percent of total cases are recovered, meaning not only that those people are no longer threats, but also that they now have the strongest form of immunity against COVID-19.
