U.S. at a pandemic crossroads
As far as the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is concerned, it’s “the best of times and the worst of times.” In some states, new cases are rapidly declining. In others, they’re rising at a worrisome rate.
According to Dr. Rochelle Walensky, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the U.S. is at a “complicated stage.” She says the seven-day average of new cases is at more than 67,443, up 1% from the previous week. A month ago, the seven-day average was 53,000 cases a day. Walensky says vaccinations are critical.
