Total coronavirus infections are being projected to skyrocket and peak in mid-October with an estimated 390,000 cases nationwide, according to a new national model projection.
The latest projections were released late last week by the COVID-19 Scenario Modeling Hub, which is run by researchers working in consultation with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, NPR first reported. The model offers four scenarios based on how many people get vaccinated and how quickly the disease, particularly the Delta variant, spreads nationwide.
The United States is currently averaging about 62,000 new cases per day over the last week, according to the CDC.
Ruth Katz, LeadingAgeâs senior vice president of public policy and advocacy, during a member call on Wednesday said the seven-day case average had quadrupled since June 26, “just as we thought we were moving out of the pandemic.”
