The daily death count is approaching 1,000. States are ordering body bags and refrigerated trucks. Patients are lined up along the walls in hospitals. And covid19 is gaining footholds in places that hoped the worst was behind them. This is the new normal
“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.”
Even states that suffered the most during the spring and took early steps to contain the virus are seeing signs of a resurgence. In Louisiana, Gov. John Bel Edwards ordered bars to close again as Covid-19 hospitalizations reached levels not seen since early May. Washington state, the site of the country's first outbreak, is reporting more infections in July than at any point during the pandemic.
The self-comforting myth that the virus was largely being spread between younger people who are less vulnerable has been shattered over the last several weeks assurge and U.S. hospitalizations, which have increased 60 percent since the beginning of July, approach the highs seen in April.
