States in the Midwest and western parts of the US are seeing a surge of COVID-19 cases as the experts anticipate the start of a second wave of the pandemic. The New York Times reported 16 states have seen more new cases in the past week compared to any other week in the pandemic. « We went down to the lowest point lately in early September, around 30,000-35,000 new cases a day. Now we’re back up to (about) 50,000 new cases a day. And it’s going to continue to rise, » Dr. Peter Hotez, dean of the National School of Tropical Medicine at Baylor College of Medicine told CNN. « This is the fall/winter surge that everyone was worried about. And now it’s happening. And it’s happening especially in the northern Midwest, and the Northern states are getting hit very hard — Wisconsin, Montana, the Dakotas.
