While greatly expanded testing probably accounts for some of the increase, experts say other measures indicate the virus is making a comeback. Mississippi saw its daily count of new cases reach new highs twice this week. Misssissippi’s Dobbs blamed a failure to wear masks and observe other social-distancing practices, and said many cases involved younger people spreading the virus to older relatives. The virus has been blamed for over 122,000 U.S. deaths — the world's highest toll — and more than 2.3 million confirmed infections nationwide. In China, where the virus first appeared late last year, an outbreak in Beijing appeared to have been brought under control.
