Politicizing COVID-19 origins won't save U.S.: experts

As of Saturday, the U.S. has averaged about 129,000 daily new cases over the last seven days, a number that has risen every day since July 5, according to data from Johns Hopkins University.

Almost 94,000 COVID-19 cases among children were reported in the past week, "a continuing substantial increase," said the American Academy of Pediatrics in a report updated on Monday.

Nearly 4.3 million children had tested positive for COVID-19 in the country as of Aug. 5 since the onset of the pandemic.
