Two states — New Mexico and North Carolina — have seen a 50% rise in new cases. To date, the country has seen more than 7.1 million infections and more than 205,000 deaths, according to data from Johns Hopkins University. Officials have encouraged continued efforts meant to curb the spread of the virus, including the use of face masks, social distancing and hand-washing, especially as flu season nears. But after several months of the pandemic, experts say Americans are tired and have given up on avoiding crowds and taking the recommended precautions as a way to return to normalcy — an attitude they say is dangerous.
