Another wave of death [View all]
Source: Axios
Omicron infections are trending down nationally, but the number of deaths is as high now as it was during the summer's Delta wave.
Why it matters: Preventing death is the ultimate goal, and thousands of Americans continue to die from this coronavirus every day even though vaccines have been available to the public for roughly a year.
By the numbers: More than 2,000 people are dying from COVID every day right now, and that number has been rising for the past week, according to the latest seven-day rolling averages.
Roughly three out of four deaths are people who are 65 or older, according to the CDC.
