This week’s Covid-19 numbers, muddied by a drop in testing and slower reporting over the holiday, likely belie the depth of the crisis in the US . Thirty-eight states reported notable drops in their seven-day average of new cases, and none saw significant increases, according to Covid Tracking Project data. “If people got infected during holiday travel, its going to take two weeks for us to know something." The situation mirrors Thanksgiving, when the national average of cases dropped the week of the holiday before reversing course in December. Nationally, the US posted 194,512 new Covid-19 cases Tuesday, Covid Tracking Project data show.
