Series of Failures Keeps Coronavirus Spreading in US, Experts Say

Steve Baragona

   After roaring through coastal cities in the spring, the coronavirus has
   now taken root in the mostly rural states of the upper Midwest, experts
   say.

   This development marks the latest failure to control a virus that has
   claimed more than 212,000 lives, according to Johns Hopkins University
   data, or more than any other country and the third-highest death toll
   per capita.

   For the past few weeks, sparsely populated North Dakota has led the
   nation in the number of [1]new COVID-19 cases per capita, followed by
   South Dakota and Wisconsin.
