COVID-19 case numbers in the U.S. appear to be decreasing, according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) data, as scientists continue to discuss the possibility of the virus finally becoming endemic.

The seven-day moving average of new cases has decreased since January 13, CDC data shows, with that figure at just over 700,000 on January 17, down from around 800,000 just a few days prior—though many more hospitalizations and deaths are still expected.
