The latest modeling projects the number of Covid-19 deaths in the US to increase further, even as one research team suggests the near-universal use of masks could save 40,000 lives between now and November, according to AFP.
The death toll stood at 136,000 on Wednesday, but the country should hit 151,000 by August 1 and 157,000 by August 8, according to an average of models of 23 research groups in the United States and elsewhere.
The figures were published by the University of Massachusetts Amherst's Reich lab on behalf of the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
