As winter weather merges with many people moving life indoors, global health experts say wearing masks could save 100,000 lives from COVID-19 by January 1.
Despite the impending release of several potential vaccines, public health experts say a winter lockdown and coming burst of cases may occur if people become"less careful."
Winter projection models released Thursday by the IHME, a research institute founded through the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, predict 371,509 deaths by January 1, 2021—a slight decrease from last week's data. But that death toll projection still foresees 168,000 more deaths on top of the nearly 204,000 deaths already recorded across the United States since the start of the pandemic.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention predicted up to 226,000 coronavirus deaths in the U.S. by October 17, three weeks from Saturday. Department of Health & Mental Hygiene chief, Dr. Dave Chokshi, warning of clusters in cities soon transitioning into widespread infection problems once again."We will move as swiftly as the situation warrants ... If this growth continues, it will turn into widespread transmission potentially citywide."
