Rural COVID related deaths are dropping
COVID-related deaths in rural America are dropping. A report by the Daily Yonder says they dropped by one-third last week, the first significant decline in more than a month.
Rural counties across the country had just over 24-hundred deaths from COVID-19 last week after four consecutive weeks before that of around 36-hundred deaths.
The number of new cases in rural counties has dropped 75% from the peak of 230-thousand cases in the first full week of January.
Deaths from COVID in urban areas last week also dropped by about a third.
