[ExI] A new model projects Covid-19 cases in the US will nearly double over the next two months

[John Grigg]

 "The US could nearly double its current numbers -- about 12.4 million
reported infections -- by January 20, according to the Washington
University in St. Louis forecasting model.

The prediction comes as Covid-19 cases and hospitalizations nationwide are
exploding, with more than 3.1 million infections reported in the US since
the start of November -- the most reported in a single month ever.

And as numbers continue to rise, hundreds more Americans will lose their
lives to the virus each day. More than 10,000 people have died in just the
past week -- many of them alone and without the chance to say goodbye to
their loved ones.

More than 257,600 people have died in the US since the pandemic's start --
more than any other country by far. And another 140,000 could die over the
next two months, according to projections

the University of Washington's Institute for Health Metrics and
Evaluation."
