With a methodical reduction in quarantine measures and a continuous increase in the number of deaths due to coronavirus, the prognosis of mortality was increased in Washington.
The University of Washington Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation estimates that at least 137,000 Americans will die from coronavirus infection.
“The forecast has been revised upwards, largely due to plans for further unblocking,” said Institute Leader Christopher Murray.
He also lamented that citizens are sabotaging the self-isolation regime. According to him, the States need to speed up testing for coronavirus and track contacts of infected people. Otherwise, the second wave of the epidemic will break out.
To date, the United States remains the world leader in the spread of coronavirus. Now there are 1.36 cases of infection and almost 80.6 thousand deaths. Only over the past day, these indicators increased by 20.4 thousand and 941, respectively.
