NPR's Steve Inskeep talks to Richard Montgomery, a mayor in California, Dr. Ali Khan of the University of Nebraska Medical Center and Chicago epidemiologist Dr. Emily Landon about the rise in cases.

State by state by state, Americans are adapting to the pandemic. Some states are changing course, even reversing themselves, as cases soar. The governor of Texas once prevented local governments from ordering mask use. Now he's giving that order. And in the absence of consistent national direction, much depends on what states do. In this part of the program, we'll hear from two places going in two directions.

INSKEEP: As best you can determine or your local health officials can determine, are these closures getting at the problem, getting at the place that the disease was spreading? For example, is there evidence of community spread on the beaches? INSKEEP: Have you been a little frustrated looking across at the European Union and seeing how they've gotten their cases down for the continent to a few thousand a day - and here we are in the United States at tens of thousands a day with a warning of 100,000 a day?

KHAN: Oh, absolutely. We never contained this outbreak in the United States. So we continued to have 20,000 cases the day for four to six weeks through May and June. And if you fail to contain the outbreak - I characterized it like embers of a fire. There's a little ember left that can restart your forest fire. And that's exactly what we're seeing happening now throughout the United States.
