Today, the last day of August, the United States recorded the six millionth case of COVID-19. As of this writing, there are 6,014,013 cases in the United States which have resulted in 183,312 deaths.
It did take a few days longer to get from 5 million to 6 million cases than it did to get from 4 million to 5 million cases. But the pace of testing has slowed down particularly in hot spots like Florida while some people wait weeks for test results thus undermining contact tracing and impeding prevention of community transmission.
With states like Iowa insisting upon in person schooling these numbers are going to get worse as we head into autumn. All of which means we are not safe in Donald Trump's America.
