Officials Cast Doubt on Second Coronavirus Wave as Cases Rise in Some States

As some states soften lockdown restrictions and see upticks in the number of coronavirus cases, many are concerned about a potential 'second wave' of the virus this fall. However, Anthony Fauci said Friday that the increase in cases did not necessarily indicate a 'second wave,' and that a spike in the fall could be avoided if people continue to social distance and wear masks in public. Coverage from all sides of the political spectrum reported on Fauci's remarks. Coverage from the right also connected coronavirus 'second wave' concern to last week's stock market dip, as well as White House economic advisor Larry Kudlow's repeated denial of the 'second wave.'
