On Wednesday, the United States reached a six-month high in new COVID cases, with over 100,000 infections reported, according to a Reuters tally. The seven-day average of cases is now at 94,819, a five-fold increase in less than a month. The Delta variant is causing a surge in areas where people have not been vaccinated, and Dr. Anthony Fauci warned that cases could double to 200,000 per day in the coming weeks due to its high contagiousness.0
