The U.S. is experiencing a decline in daily COVID-19 deaths after a two-month steady increase to mid-September, according to data compiled by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Also, as of Sept. 25, the death rate among adults ages 75 and older continued to exceed all other age groups at 2.09 per 100,000, whereas the rate for adults ages 65-74, 50-64 and 40-49 was 0.97, 0.44 and 0.23, respectively. The rate continued to decline and level off among younger populations ages 30-39 at 0.10 and a steady 0.02 among people ages 12-29, before hitting zero among kids under 11.
Americans over age 65 are tied with the highest uptake of at least one COVID-19 vaccine dose, at over 97% for adults ages 65-74, and about 92% for those 75 and older.
