The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warned the death toll could hit 175,000 by August 15 after the U.S. crossed 4 million cases, with hospitalizations on the rise in 41 states.
The spread of the coronavirus could be elevated this fall with as many as 150,000 daily cases in the U.S., according to Morgan Stanley’s biotechnology analyst, Matthew Harrison. “We update our scenarios to account for the higher sustained infection rate,” Harrison said in a note Thursday. “Our bull [most optimistic] case reflects similar virus control to Europe while our base [most likely] case assumes a near-term plateau followed by increased spread in the fall. [About] 150,000 daily new cases are possible without better control of the virus.”
Harrison previously projected a “second wave” in the autumn with daily new cases totaling between 40,000 and 50,000 nationwide. However, the recent emergence of hot spots — Arizona, Texas, Florida and California — has reflected a high rate of infection, which led the analyst to adjust to a more pessimistic view on the pandemic.
“Our assumption of a growing reproduction number, and consequently increasing daily cases, throughout the rest of the year is based on the fact that traditionally the spread of viruses is elevated in the fall compared to the summer primarily due to more people in enclosed spaces,” Harrison said.
A recent resurgence in new cases has forced a number of states to roll back their reopening plans, which weighed on the stock market that rallied massively in the second quarter on hopes for a fast economic recovery. Texas and Florida hit grim records for daily coronavirus deaths based on a seven-day moving average.The virus has infected an average of 66,805 people per day in the U.S. over the past seven days, up more than 7% compared with a week ago, according to a CNBC analysis of data compiled by Johns Hopkins University. On Wednesday, California Gov. Gavin Newsom reported a record spike in daily infections, surpassing New York as the U.S. state with the most confirmed infections since the pandemic began. Nick Note: Did I tell you so? If i forgot read the reports. The START of the second more deadly wave is upon us. The numbers will exceed ALL estimates. Why… Pretty simple the virus has mutated and has gone to the most contagious deadly system that spreads as a aerosol. The cold hard ugly truth is the much ballyhooed paper masks are WORSE then useless. I want to be clear here. Its now beyond in America what testing and contact tracing can contain. The mistakes are compounding themselves exponentially. The economic crises spawned by the pandemic is catching the aTtention of world leaders. Would they allow 100 million Americans to die over the next 2 years to satisfy big business LUST FOR PROFIT. Yes they would and the decision has been made. The masses are being told the Kill the cats solution the great white hope the vaccine is coming. The cold hard truth is their will be no EFFECTIVE VACCINE. and WHEN THE VACCINES FROM HELL IS RELEASED JUST LIKE KILLING THE CATS in the dark ages WILL MAKE THE PLAGUE far Far FAR WORSE. I believe, hope and pray i can guide us through this. The only chance we have is to face the cold hard ugly realities. The sun shines most everyday. But sunny days and a positive mental attitude will not help you beat this monster.
