The number of new coronavirus cases in the United States is falling, but does that mean the country has turned a corner in the pandemic?
There is an awful reality behind the decline: As the virus has run through the U.S., it has infected a third of the population, according to most epidemiological models, and killed over 400,000 people in the country.
And the downward trajectory may not last, as the threat posed by new virus variants looms large.
Today, we discuss the latest in the quest to stamp out the coronavirus.
On today’s episode
Donald G. McNeil Jr., a science and health reporter for The New York Times.
