- New coronavirus case numbers have skyrocketed over the past two months, but the so-called "coronavirus curve" is finally starting to flatten in most of the hardest-hit states across the country.
- People in hard-hit states are finally starting to take the basic precautions they should have been taking all along, though part of the decline in new COVID-19 cases can also be attributed to a decrease in available testing locations.

No, the White House hasn't done anything about its mind-boggling lack of leadership and guidance. And no, coronavirus deniers and anti-maskers still aren't coming to their senses — at least, not until they spread COVID-19 to their entire families and kill their relatives. The good news is that new coronavirus case numbers have stabilized in all of the states where new cases have been soaring over the past couple of months. That even includes states like California, Texas, Arizona, and Florida. That's right, new case numbers have even stopped climbing in Florida, despite the best efforts of lawmakers and law enforcement to keep new case numbers soaring.
It's true that many coronavirus testing sites have been closing in states across the country, and that is undoubtedly contributing to the drop in new cases.

But people in many areas are being more careful and taking the basic precautions they need to take in order to slow the spread of this potentially deadly disease. That means wearing a face mask, practicing social distancing, and washing your hands as much as possible. Unfortunately, it's not all good news. Despite the near-universal decrease in new case rates across the US, there are still 15 states where the number of coronavirus deaths has continued to climb.
