Average daily new U.S. cases over the past month surged past 85,000 on Monday, the highest since Feb. 18., according to The Post. Deaths have risen slightly to around 370 a day, but remain far below the 1,000 daily averages in early August 2020.
Authorities have been battling to get more people vaccinated, and some predict a surge in the fall if the vaccination rate doesn't climb quicker. At last count, Detroit had about a 40-percent vaccination rate.
