Just today I saw an article that said the covid recession is over.
However...it appears that new infections have been rising again globally since May-ish. It looks to me like it is becoming exponential again, although the slope on a log scale is considerably less than the first time.
Deaths still seem to be declining, but you would expect that to lag regardless.
There seems to be a pattern where the larger countries that weren't hit so hard at first are picking up as developed Europe gets things under control. For instance, India, Brazil, Russia, Pakistan etc.
And within the US, as NY and NJ have fewer new cases, Texas, California, Illinois, and Arizona are starting to take the lead. Over 90% of new cases are outside NY and NJ now.

This is my interpretation of the charts at: https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/
...titled Daily New Cases and Daily Deaths.
