According to CNN on January 29th, a forecast report released by the Institute of Health Indicators and Evaluation of the University of Washington on the 28th showed that due to the rapid spread of Variant novel coronavirus in the United States, the death toll in the United States may reach 620,000 by May, and the worst case may be nearly 65 by May 1. 40,000 Americans died.
This figure is nearly 85,000 more than the agency’s forecast on the 24th.
The head of the agency said that the U.S. government has not acted as quickly as expected to take effective epidemic prevention measures, nor has it included this information in the implementation plan.
Without effective measures to control the epidemic, the spread of the epidemic in the United States will remain fierce.
