Cartoon: Revealing Coronavirus Update
Concerning Trends on the Coronavirus Nicolas Kristof, The New York Times |
Spain reported no new deaths from Covid-19 for two days, a sign of progress in a country that had been hard hit. I had hoped that the United States would follow the trajectory of Spain and Italy, but instead America is stuck in something of a plateau of around 20,000 new cases a day. |
Alabama is particularly alarming, and Texas has just reported its highest seven-day figure. Florida reported its highest daily gain in six weeks. With more states opening up, I worry that we may be stuck with a high level of infections and deaths for some time. |
