“There’s a general sense of fatigue and numbness to these numbers,” said Kirsten Bibbins-Domingo, chair of the department of epidemiology and biostatistics at University of California, San Francisco. “On top of that there is this seesawing, we’re open, we’re closed, we’re open, we’re closed, and that doesn’t help with the fatigue.”

Washington state, the site of the country's first outbreak, is reporting more infections in July than at any point during the pandemic.
