Scientists are projecting the surge to peak in January. Just how massive it could be depends on how quickly Americans get boosted and change behavior to slow the spread.
white house has to be looking at these numbers in that same in that same washington post story i read that talked about all of these numbers. there was focus on the fact that younger republicans and republican-leaning independents are becoming more open to taking the vaccine, are getting the vaccine. and also, a pretty big number. there s been a jump from 67% of americans being vaccinated in, i think it was, may to now 75% of americans having at least one shot thus far. and if we can move that into the 80s, then some epidemiologists predictions from over the weekend that we may be seeing the end of covid in the fall may, in fact, come to pass. yeah, the white house won t quite go that far as they tend to be conservative on most of their covid projections. but there are some signs of hope here, you ran through the stats
SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) For close to a year, statistics have helped to track the magnitude of the coronavirus pandemic. A young data scientist in the Bay Area has turned out to be one of the best at crunching the numbers.
Youyang Gu, a 27-year-old data scientist, created the website covid19-projections.com. It started generating attention because of its impressive accuracy. A lot of these models that were there during the early stages of the pandemic were not clear about the kind of the assumptions and the limitations, said Gu.
Normally based in New York, Gu found himself in lockdown while visiting his parents back home in Santa Clara, Calif. He was born in China, but his family came to the United States when he was 7 years old. He grew up in Palo Alto and attended Gunn High School.
