Experts Expect Decrease In Covid-19 Cases, Deaths In Upcoming Weeks

The number of Coronavirus vaccines administered each day is lessening in the U.S. and experts are hopeful to see steep declines in the number of cases and deaths reported in the U.S. in the upcoming weeks. According to data from the CDC roughly 58% of adults in the United States and about 46% of the country’s total population have received at least one Coronavirus vaccine and over 34% of the population is fully vaccinated. Once over 60% of adults in the country have received at least one dose of the vaccine, experts say we’ll begin seeing a significant drop in Covid-19 cases. Last month, Dr.
Anthony Fauci estimated that about 70-85% of people need to be immune to reach a ‘total blanket of protection’.

Back in January, the U.S. hit a seven day average of over 251,000 daily Covid-19 cases and a seven day average of more than 3,400 Coronavirus related deaths. White House Covid-19 Response Coordinator Jeffrey Zients is still stressing the importance of getting vaccinated and President Biden announced a new goal of administering at least one dose of the vaccine to 70% of adults by July 4th last week.
