The US death toll from COVID-19 topped 600,000 on Wednesday AEST, even as the vaccination drive has drastically brought down daily cases and fatalities

and allowed the country to emerge from the gloom and look forward to summer.

“Deep down I want to rejoice,” said Rita Torres, a retired university administrator in Oakland, California. But she plans to take it slow: “Because it’s kind of like, is it too soon? Will we be sorry?”to an average of around 340, from a high of over 3400 in mid-January. Cases are running at about 14,000 a day on average, down from a quarter-million per day over the winter.

The most recent deaths are seen in some ways as especially tragic now that the vaccine has become available practically for the asking.More than 50 per cent of Americans have had at least one dose of vaccine, while over 40 per cent are fully vaccinated, according to the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention.

Officials are walking door-to-door to encourage residents of the majority black city of Detroit to get vaccinated against COVID-19 as the city’s immunization rate lags well behind the rest of Michigan and the United States.At nearly every turn in the outbreak, the virus has exploited and worsened inequalities in the United States.

With the overall picture improving rapidly, California, the most populous state and the first to impose a coronavirus lockdown, dropped state rules on social distancing and limits on capacity at restaurants, bars, supermarkets, gyms, stadiums and other places, ushering in what has been billed as its “Grand Reopening” just in time for summer.

He said the state is lifting rules that had limited the size of gatherings and required some types of businesses to follow cleaning protocols, take people’s temperature or screen them for COVID-19 symptoms. Businesses will no longer have to restrict how many people they can allow inside based on the 6-foot rule.
