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.
