The seven-day average of daily new cases is now 90,416 -- down from a peak of about 250,000 in early January, according to Johns Hopkins University.
As of Sunday, 67,023 people were hospitalized with Covid-19 -- about half the record-high of 132,447 set on January 6, according to the COVID Tracking Project.

so instead of 40 crashes a day, we are down to 20 crashes a day...

The peak was a couple weeks after Christmas. Holiday get togethers were a killer.

I'm not convinced there has been a big change in use of masks and social distances

I think the "A lot of people have had it already" is a little discussed factor

NY death numbers in March-May 2020 alone suggest much, much higher infection rate

The headline you object to says "some". And you've picked out just one of the figures.
