Resurgence

As August turns into an especially cool and dry September, the caseload numbers start to increase again despite your heroic efforts of the winter and spring. The increase occurs slowly at first, then quickly when school and colleges reopen, and it comes clear you’re going to experience a second wave of the virus. By early October, you find yourself calling an emergency cabinet meeting to try to get out in front of this. Complicating things is that the election in November is bearing down on your campaign. How you act now will affect your re-election chances for sure, but it could also save lives: possibly tens of thousands of lives.
