U.S. Virus Cases Climb Toward a Third Peak
Cases are surging again after falling from a summer peak. And the spread to new areas of the country suggests the outbreak is far from over.

We're headed for a third peak. Why? Because this administration failed to face the facts and failed to come up with a national strategy. Let's vote for change and for an administration that will know what a fact is. #VOTE
Is the U.S. heading for its third coronavirus peak?
After growth of the pandemic slowed in late summer, the daily count of new cases has been rising steadily since mid-September.

Coronavirus cases in the US are surging again after growth slowed in late summer. While the pandemic is now shifting to the Midwest and to more rural areas, cases are trending upward in most states, many of them setting weekly records. @LaurenLeatherby
It didnโt have to be this way. With competent leadership we - like other nations - would be at the office, in school, in social spaces. Instead, thereโs at least another year of this, with countless business closures, mental health crises, and deaths.
Hospitals have been filling up again and rural areas are seeing staggering outbreaks.
Epidemiologists worry that the new peak could be the highest yet as colder temperatures will force people indoors where the virus thrives. nyti.ms/350PoZ9 pic.twitter.com/Sf7kfC5bc8

The rise in cases has been especially profound in the Midwest and Mountain West.
Those regions are home to almost all of the metro areas with the countryโs worst outbreaks right now. nyti.ms/350PoZ9 pic.twitter.com/EEbRp4U5Gz

โI think we are in a dangerous place.โ -Dr. @cmyeaton
The US is headed into another surge in #coronavirus cases & hospitalizations, starting from a higher plateau than last time.
This is not good.
The US looks like it is on fire in this amazing data visualization via @NYTimes #MaskUp
Covid cases surging again in the US.
i would love someone, anyone, to put the simple question to Trump or Pence - what is the actual plan? (beyond a miracle vaccine)

โAre the fires of Hell a-glowing
Is the grisly reaper mowing
Yes, the danger must be growing
For the rowers keep on rowing
And theyโre certainly not showing
Any signs that they are slowing.โ

This @nytimes graphic would be so much cooler if the red spikes weren't representations of mass death and suffering caused by our failed, dishonest government.
Act 1: Not a problem, just affecting those Democrat City.
Act 2: It'll be over and forgotten by election day.
Act 3: I'm invincible!
Remember when we were worried about a second wave? Sigh.
