Covid-19 USA Update

"Infections Swamp the U.S., Which Recorded 42% of All Its Cases in July. The U.S. reels as July cases more than double the total of any other month. The virus is picking up dangerous speed in much of the Midwest —

Gone is any sense that the country may soon get ahold of the pandemic. The seven-day average for daily new infections has hovered around 65,000 for the past two weeks, more than doubling the peak average from the spring, when the country experienced what was essentially its first wave."

I'm amazed you got this shot of it. We had millions of them but they never seem to sit still on anything good. ~BV~
