VOA News

   Thenovelcoronavirus is spreading too fast and across too many places in
   the United States to bring it under control, a top expertsaid Mondayas
   some states set records for new cases every day.

   "We have way too much virus across the country for that right now, so
   it's very discouraging," Dr. AnneSchuchatof the Centers for Disease
   Control and Preventiontold The Journal of the American Medical
   Association.

   Dr.Schuchatcalledthe surge in new cases just "the beginning," and said
   new cases are not being rapidly identified and isolated with proper
   contact tracing.

   "I think there was a lot of wishful thinking around the country that,
   hey it's summer. Everything's going to be fine. We're over this and we
   are not even beginning to be over this. There are a lot of worrisome
   factors about the last week or so," she said.
