Mandi Hawke, who runs a small children’s book company from her home in Broward County near Fort Lauderdale, said she recently made her first trip to the local mall in months and was “horrified” by what she saw. The number of new U.S. cases reported daily began rising about six weeks ago, driven by increases in southern and western states. Texas saw a record 10,745 new cases on Tuesday.With more than 3.3 million cases, the United States has one of the highest rates of cases per capita in the world. With more than 135,000 deaths, it ranks seventh in fatalities per capita among the 20 countries with the most cases.
Against the backdrop of rising cases and deaths, many U.S. school districts have been confronted with a difficult choice of resuming classes or using only online teaching, which many parents have called ineffective and burdensome. California’s two largest school districts, Los Angeles and San Diego, have said that students will be kept home for the term beginning in August.
