Experts believe that the number of deaths from coronavirus in the United States could reach 730,000 by April if state authorities ease restrictions. Universal vaccination could cut this sad figure by 45,000 lives.

University of Washington Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation publishes latest predictive models for coronavirus mortality in America. In accordance with them, by April next year, COVID-19 will kill 731,000 citizens of the country.. This will happen in the event that the authorities of different states begin to ease restrictions, and large-scale vaccinations are not rolled out. It is difficult to imagine that American states would maintain quarantines for so long, as they irritate Americans very much and lead to huge economic losses..

If vaccination can be rolled out and implemented at a faster pace than planned, then this will reduce the number of deaths by 45,000. Finally, universal wearing of masks would reduce that figure by 49,000, scientists believe.. According to Institute experts, now about 74% of Americans comply with the mandatory wearing masks in public places.. But even if universal vaccination unfolds, and the states remain the current restrictions, according to experts, by April 1, 567 195 people will die from the coronavirus in America - much more than Americans died during World War II.

Nevertheless, with cautious optimism, scientists record a slight decrease in the incidence in certain regions..

But the same cannot be said for the number of hospitalized on the eve of Christmas - a new record is set here.. It is noted that a bright holiday in hospitals welcomes more than 120,000 Americans suffering from severe COVID-19. To date, the total number of cases during the entire period of the pandemic is 18.6 million Americans, and the deaths - 329,122 people, writes The Daily Mail.
