There are 2 million confirmed cases of the coronavirus in the United States. Think about that for a minute.
Of those cases, roughly 113,000 of them have been deadly. When America grieved for the 100,000 who died, USA TODAY's Editorial Board called it an American tragedy.
That was two weeks ago.
On Wednesday, we wrote about the alarming spread of COVID-19 in Arizona and other states, with health officials increasingly worried about the number of cases requiring hospitalizations.
Now health officials are warning of a potential second round of infections. “There is a new wave coming in parts of the country,” said Eric Toner, a senior scholar at the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, told Bloomberg. “It’s small and it’s distant so far, but it’s coming.”
A Harvard researcher told CNN that as many as 100,000 additional U.S. deaths could come by September.
By the numbers: The coronavirus isn't going away anytime soon. Confirmed cases in the United States are more than 2 million, according to the Johns Hopkins University dashboard. America's death toll is hovering at around 113,000. Globally, there are more than 7.3 million confirmed cases and 417,000 people have died.
