Coronavirus Hot Spots: Could The Mid-Atlantic And Northeast See A COVID-19 Rebound?
https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shot...-19-reboun
For weeks the U.S. coronavirus pandemic has largely been driven by spiraling outbreaks in the South and West. But some forecasters say Mid-Atlantic and Northeast states could soon be in deep trouble again, too.
The warning comes from researchers at the PolicyLab at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, which has built a model to provide four-week forecasts for every U.S. county. NPR spoke to David Rubin, PolicyLab's director, an epidemiologist and professor at the University of Pennsylvania. Here are five takeaways:
*The virus is marching up the East Coast
*The current low case numbers are obscuring the looming problem
*The South appears to have reseeded the virus in the North
*Summer travel is making things worse
*As grim as all this sounds, there is still hope.
