There is a new wave coming in parts of the country, said Eric Toner, a senior scholar at the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security. Its small and its distant so far, but its coming.
Experts see evidence of a second wave building in Arizona, Texas, Florida and California. Arizona sticks out like a sore thumb in terms of a major problem, said Jeffrey Morris, director of the division of biostatistics at University of Pennsylvanias Perelman School of Medicine.
Arizonas daily tally of new cases has abruptly spiked in the last two weeks, hitting an all-time high of 1,187 on June 2. This week, its Department of Health Services sent hospitals a letter urging them to activate emergency plans and prepare to staff beds. The departments director, Cara Christ, told a Phoenix television station that she was concerned about the rising case count and percentage of people tested who are found to be positive.
A month into its reopening, Florida reported 8,553 new coronavirus cases this week -- the most of any seven-day period. In Texas, hospitalizations on Tuesday jumped 6.3% to 2,056, the highest since the pandemic emerged and the third consecutive daily increase. Californias hospitalizations are at their highest since May 13 and have risen in nine of the past 10 days.
