This stuff about the coronavirus is from the Washington Post.

On Friday, something happened in the United States that hadn't occurred for the 11 previous months: The seven-day average of new coronavirus cases fell below 30,000, a sign that the pandemic is improving in most U.S. areas. This is a very encouraging sign, but the pandemic's not over. Spread is still high in certain places such as parts of the Pacific Northwest and the Deep South. One infectious-disease modeler told The Washington Post the future of the outbreak depends on whether unprotected Americans get immunized, which would help limit a fall or winter resurgence of the virus.

“I’m sure that we can control it,” Anthony S. Fauci, the nation's top infectious-disease doctor, told The Post. “Somewhere between control and elimination is where we’re going to wind up."
