Mondays are typically slow, but I suppose this qualifies as less bad than most recent reports. One of the few days recently where there were fewer cases (57,948) than the same day a week ago (58,465). And the positive test rate was (barely) below 8% for the first time since 7/5.
Still, deaths rose sightly week over week, bringing the 7-day average to 754. We'll need a bit of luck to avoid going over 1K during Tuesday-Thursday, which typically feature much higher numbers than Sunday/Monday.
