On this edition of Your Call, we'll get an update on COVID-19 cases, which are surging. The United States reported 36,880 new cases on Wednesday, the largest one-day total since the start of the pandemic.
Cases are rising in more than half of the country, including states like California, Texas and Florida, weeks after parts of the country reopened. Experts warn the US is behind on contact tracing and still isn’t testing enough people. How should we prepare for the months ahead?
