COVID cases rise again in US amid lagging vaccination rates

Al Jazeera  

Parts of the country are running up against widespread vaccine resistance and a fast-spreading Delta variant. The coronavirus infections curve in the United States is rising again after months of decline, with the number of new cases per day doubling over the past three weeks, driven by the fast-spreading Delta variant, lagging vaccination rates and Fourth of July gatherings. Meanwhile, the head of the Pan American Health Organization on Wednesday said that Mexico, as well as several countries in Central and South America – where vaccination rates are markedly lower than in the US – are all seeing a rise in new infections. “While new cases are down nearly 20 percent from last week, many countries – including the United States – are seeing a resurgence of infections,” PAHO Director Carissa Etienne said during a weekly news briefing. “We are all tired, but after experiencing successive peaks of infections in the same locations, we must break this cycle by embracing public health measures early and consistently.” Cases rise ⬆️ when complacency sets in.
