Over 163 have died in the United States from the coronavirus so far. people. According to statistics, it is the most in the world.

Meanwhile, the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME), a research center dealing with health statistics, warns that by December 1, the number of deaths from COVID-19 could reach nearly 300 in the US. “The US forecast is for 295 deaths by December,” reads the institute’s forecast.
Fortunately, this model does not have to work. As Dr. Christopher Murray, director of the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation IHME points out, “the behavior of society was directly related to the spread of the virus and thus the number of deaths”. So if Americans consistently wear protective masks, these statistics stand a chance to remain pure theory.

Dr.Fauci: By election day, we can lower the number of COVID-19 infections
Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, believes that by election day (November 3), the number of COVID-19 infections can be reduced. Dr Fauci emphasizes that the United States has what it takes to bring the coronavirus cases “to manageable levels” by the presidential election. It will be feasible, “… if we do everything correctly and if we start now”, emphasizes Fauci.
The basic recommendations remain the same: using face masks in public places, keeping social distancing and washing hands. “ I really believe, based on data from other countries, and from US states, cities and counties that followed the recommendations, that if we pay attention to basic principles of infection control and limitation of coronavirus transmission, things will be different in November, ” Fauci said.
