Remember a few months ago when new coronavirus case numbers in the United States finally began to fall and people were concerned about the second wave of infections? Now, in hindsight, a second wave seems like it would have been a blessing. Instead, the US never managed to get the first wave of coronavirus outbreaks under control, and we’re still riding it now with more than 40,000 new coronavirus cases still being recorded across the country on a daily basis. The good news is that figure is down substantially from the more than 70,000 daily cases we were registering for a brief period in late July. But the bad news is that the US is still averaging more than 40,000 new coronavirus cases each day as schools across the country continue to reopen.
