There are fears that lifting of restrictions in many states and the spread of more contagious variants in the U.S. threaten to undo the nation’s progress.
As of Sunday, the seven-day average of new cases rose by 5% or more in 27 states, according to a CNBC analysis of data compiled by Johns Hopkins University. Across the U.S., the nation logged an average of 54,308 new cases per day over the past week — a 1% rise from the prior week after months of rapidly declining case numbers, according to the data.
Even as the U.S. picks up the pace of vaccinations, giving about 2.5 million shots every day, some health officials have warned the country remains in a precarious spot. The lifting of restrictions in many states and the spread of more contagious variants in the U.S. threaten to undo the nation’s progress, which has seen cases, hospitalizations and deaths all fall dramatically since the peak earlier this year.
Meanwhile in Brazil:

Eric Feigl-Ding on Twitter, who has been exceptionally right so far, calls it:
Don’t look away. The world needs to face the reality of the crisis facing the people of Brazil, and the crushing effects of the #P1 variant, which is also now circulating worldwide as well as neighboring countries. This could all be us if we don’t collectively act.
