Along with Michigan, 32 other states have registered increases in infections in the past two weeks, including all the states along the Great Lakes, from Wisconsin to Pennsylvania. Minnesota and South Dakota are also up, making the Upper Midwest the major regional center of the spring wave. If there’s a single broad trend, it’s that the northern tier of the country is generally faring worse than the southern — for the moment.
Other regional hotspots include Maine and New Hampshire in northern New England; Delaware and Maryland in the Mid-Atlantic; Arizona, Colorado and Nevada in the Mountain West; and Oregon and Washington in the Pacific Northwest.

The nation will experience setbacks in the war against the Coronavirus which is to be expected when such large segments of the population deny the virus’ very existence. Vaccinations are proceeding quickly but are too late to stop the latest surge in Covid-19 infections and deaths. Science deniers right on cue will spin this information for their own unscientific theories about the virus and efficacy of vaccinations. Fortunately, enough Americans believe in science to continue getting vaccinated at a rapid pace which is the only way to ultimately defeat the virus.
