The United States found itself increasingly isolated from the rest of the world Tuesday as COVID-19 continued to spread relentlessly across Southern and Western states.
"We can't just focus on those areas that are having the surge. It puts the entire country at risk," Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said Tuesday in testimony before Congress."We're now having 40-plus thousand new cases a day. I would not be surprised if we go up to 100,000 a day if this does not turn around, and so I'm very concerned.
As states like Alabama, Texas, Florida and California continued to report huge numbers of new cases, other states that have been able to flatten the curve, like New York and New Jersey, were putting off plans to reopen bars and restaurants. California has recorded 223,684 coronavirus infections and 5,979 deaths, according to the latest NBC News tally. And a Los Angeles Times analysis found that the state was on track to nearly double the number of cases it had in May, which was 61,666.
"It would. I mean, for the Fourth of July, we could show our patriotism with a red, white and blue mask," McCarthy said on Fox.It remains to be seen whether Trump will don one Friday when he travels to South Dakota for an Independence Day celebration at Mount Rushmore. The state's Republican governor, Kristi Noem, said authorities will be handing out masks but not requiring people to socially distance.
