COVID-19 cases are mounting in the U.S. But the dynamics of the outbreak are also changing, with important implications for the next phase of the pandemic.

Tune in to our Professional Development Series: Coaching Calls for conversations that motivate, inspire and improve your everyday.

Key Takeaways

  • COVID-19 case numbers are rising in the U.S., even as many other countries have successfully “flattened the curve.” One reason may be a lack of coordinated response to the disease in the U.S. and the decision to reopen economies despite comparatively high, active case counts.
  • That said, hospitalization rates have declined as the average age of the newly infected skews younger. In addition, doctors and nurses now have better knowledge of how to treat the disease, helping survivability rates.
  • Large infection numbers could also make it easier for drug makers to find enough patients for testing potential vaccines, some of which are moving into late-stage clinical trials.
