“But during that period, states also rolled back virus control measures, and now mobility data shows a rise in people socializing and traveling. Amid all this, more-contagious variants have been gaining a foothold, and new cases are almost 20 percent higher than they were at the lowest point in March.
“It is a pretty complex situation, because behavior is changing, but you’ve also got this change in the virus itself at the same time,” said Emily Martin, an epidemiologist at the University of Michigan School of Public Health.”
The Coronavirus is now increasing once again and continuing to cause havoc across the nation. More socializing and the new and more contagious variants are primarily to blame for the latest semi-surge. Experts are hopeful that the vaccination efforts now in full swing will be able to curb an exponential increase in cases like the one that overwhelmed the nation last Winter. Vaccines are they only way to completely eradicate the virus once and for all.
