A Tale of Two Curves

Title (Dublin Core)

A Tale of Two Curves

Description (Dublin Core)

With the United States and many countries in Europe experiencing a similar timeline in coronavirus developments, I had hope that we collectively could buckle down as a country and flatten the curve. It was encouraging to hear stories coming out of Europe of a declining death toll, and various state and local governments in the US seemed to be having some luck in managing to contain the rise in cases. But as summer began and the country reopened, it really does appear to be that we want to pretend the coronavirus has just gone away; the numbers paint a disheartening picture.
