This edition tabulates the past week’s progression of cases and deaths at the state and nationwide levels.  The rate of new cases per day is still quite high (nearly 30,000 nationally) but did decrease 9% during the week of April 9-16 versus the previous week.  Most states are experiencing a drop-off in new cases per day.  However, the rate of new cases per day increased in 16 states this past week. 

COVID-attributed deaths doubled nationally between the cumulative figure as of April 9 and as of April 16.
