Today's new high was driven by big numbers from a dozen states, likely reporting some backlogged negative tests from the past couple of days.
For context: nearly as many tests were reported just *today* as the US had completed cumulatively through March 25th.

At 523, this is the lowest reported daily death total since late March, and substantially lower than last Monday. The 7-day average fell to its lowest since April 6.
We expect the numbers to rise tomorrow, as in previous weeks, because of reporting lags.

New cases continued very slowly floating downwards.
The geography of the epidemic continues to change. Burden moving from states that had large early outbreaks to other places.
Last note: Washington DC's total test count fell by ~22%, presumably pulling out antibody tests.
