Testing Czar Says Cases Are Down, Even As U.S. Nears 200,000 Covid-19 Deaths-Politico

Even as the U.S. nears 200,00 Covid-19 deaths, HHS testing czar Brett Giroir said Sunday morning that progress was being made on many fronts. “From the peaks in early July and late July, the number of cases are down by 41 percent,” the Health and Human Services official told CNN’s Jake Tapper. “The number of people in an ICU are down 62 percent. The number of deaths are down almost 30 percent. But we have to stay strong and do the things that could decrease the spread.” Politico, 09/20/2020
