PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — We are definitely making progress in the battle against the coronavirus, thanks to two big weapons: masks and vaccines.
More and more people are choosing to both get the vaccine and wear masks voluntarily, but why are there still spikes in varying parts of the country?
Two key reasons: Some states are easing coronavirus-related restrictions more than others. There’s also the spread of more transmissible coronavirus variants.
It’s easy to blame politicians, but the reality is that there is a delicate balance between controlling cases and attempting to return to normal. This is the next step in what seems like an endless battle with this virus.
