This article was published by National Geographic and made public by them to help spread awareness of the current state of the Coronavirus epidemic. This article is important because often information is gained second or third hand from someone who heard from someone who heard from someone else and by the time the information gets to you, the actual info is lost. National Geographic has long been known as a reputable source of information and so the information from them can usually be counted on to be accurate. Having an accurate source of information can help ease anxiety people may have simply from 'not knowing.' This article stated that, in the US, cases have been steady but with the cooler temperatures coming, may rise again as more people are spending their time primarily indoors. This article serves as a good snapshot of the current state of things in the coronavirus universe in September 2020.
