This fellow from the UK is suspicious the US covid cases are leveling off. He mentions the change in

the way data is collected. Does anyone have anything more about this? Is Trump trying to make it look like coronavirus is back under control just before the election?

Texas has a decline in new cases as well, and it’s hospital ICUs are at 87% of capacity. Like Florida, things look better. Obviously there are still a few hospitals at capacity, but even there things are looking better.

Arizona shows a directionally nice decline in new cases per 100,000 people and a drop in ICU space used by COVID. This site always extrapolates to the worst case. A little alarmist, but the new case count has been going down for TWO WEEKS. Better news, better markets.
