The US coronavirus death toll is projected to reach 410,000 in the next 4 months if mask use wanes

[Robert59]

More than 410,000 people in the US could die from the coronavirus by January 1, more than doubling the current death toll, a new model often cited by top health officials predicted Friday.

That would mean 224,000 more lives lost in the US over the next four months.

With flu season approaching, and a CV vaccine still months away, this Fall/Winter may well result in a major spike in people succumbing to health problems. We'll probably be lucky to see any return to "normal" within the next year.
