A rundown of all the good coronavirus news from recent days — and all the bad coronavirus news

To help you get a better handle on the latest things we’ve learned about COVID-19, and our prospects for vanquishing it, Intelligencer is assembling periodic rundowns of all the good and bad news that’s come our way.
Most promisingly, New York State saw only two days with double-digit COVID-19 deaths throughout the entire month of August. And in New York City, the seven-day rolling average of new COVID-19 cases now sits at just 147, the lowest that figure has been since March 12.
If this finding holds up — and proves applicable for whichever vaccine first secures FDA approval — then it might be possible for Americans to self-administer the vaccine, thereby mitigating the logistical challenges to its mass dissemination.There are many reasons why COVID-19’s fatality rate has fallen in the United States. But one is that doctors have gotten better at treating the disease as they’ve gained familiarity with its effects.
4) Recent events on a U.S. fishing boat indicate that antibodies protect COVID survivors from reinfection. Anecdotal reports of apparent COVID-19 reinfections have been around since the pandemic’s early months. But subsequent research revealed these to be false alarms: Individuals were testing positive for the coronavirus months after recovering from COVID-19 because the tests they were using could not distinguish between the RNA of a live virus, and that of inactive virus fragments that linger benignly in the body long after recovery.
But for the moment, it looks more likely that getting a vaccine into the blood of a critical mass of the American public will require surmounting roughly twice as many logistical and political obstacles as authorities had bargained for. America’s efforts to distribute PPE and tests in a timely fashion were stymied by supply-chain bottlenecks.
