U.S. hospitalizations ticked lower for a second day straight on Thursday, according to data from The Atlantic’s COVID Tracking Project.
Roughly 128,900 people are currently being treated in U.S. hospitals for Covid-19, down from 130,300 as of Wednesday and from 131,300 as of Tuesday. Though the earliest signs of improvement are a welcome change from skyrocketing hospital stays, patient volumes remain at overwhelming levels and near pandemic highs.
