Massive COVID Outbreak in New York State

Does it seem like everyone in your life is starting to get sick? COVID is on the rise again here in New York State.

There were just under 15,000 cases of positive COVID cases. According to Axios.com:

Thirty-two states are experiencing a summertime surge of COVID-19, with infections growing or likely growing based on emergency room visits, according to updated CDC estimates.

 

Why it matters: Emergency visits for COVID have crept upward since the first half of May, coinciding with a busy travel season and more people congregating indoors to avoid extreme heat.

It is almost that time of the year in New York State where kids are going to be heading back to school and then the germs will be starting to spread. The trend the past 3 years has been that COVID cases have been on the rise in the months of September and October.
