A new forecast from the University of Washington's pandemic forecasting team is frightening. Even in a best-case scenario, close to another 200,000 Americans are likely to die between now and May 1.
More than 430,000 Americans have already died in the pandemic, and even if the entire population started doing everything right -- wearing masks, avoiding gatherings, staying two arms' lengths away from one another -- the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation predicts at least 130,000 more people would die in the next three months.
And now the new variants are here. Virologists predicted from the beginning that the coronavirus would change, and two more contagious variants are now spreading in the US.
"This virus will continue for certain to evolve and mutate," Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said during a call with reporters on Friday.
Federal and state governments are racing to try to vaccinate the population, but even the most optimistic forecast suggests many, if not most, Americans will have to wait until summer to get immunized.
Is there any way to prevent the worst? Can better mask use, more testing, stricter social distancing help? President Joe Biden's very first executive order was a federal mask order -- something affecting federal offices and contractors only, since he cannot tell states what to do.
There's a clamor for more testing. The new administration has issued tighter testing requirements for international travel and is debating whether to require testing for domestic travel, also.
The new CDC director, Dr. Rochelle Walensky, says the arrival of the new variants means Americans must double down on all the things they are already being told to do -- but that millions of Americans are still not doing.

Give it up. We’re on to you.
Nah, no matter how they package it, its still the same old generic influenza that we’ve had for decades.
Do more of what has already proven to be ineffective?
Isn't that the definition of insanity?
Is CNN playing spooky music during these propaganda pieces yet?
.
Normal Americans, or those who see a new wave as additional chance for them to grab more dictatorial power?
CNN wants better behavior from us.
Keep the panic alive.
No.
State governors will use it to further extend the mask farce.
He has been Fang Fang’ed.

Apparently NOT CNN.
99% chance of surviving Covid. Same as usual for influenza. Why worry?
the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation
Are these the guys who told us last March that 2.2 million Americans could be dead by July 4?
...even if the entire population started doing everything right — wearing masks, avoiding gatherings, staying two arms’ lengths away from one another — the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation predicts at least 130,000 more people would die in the next three months...
Of course it can. Peer pressure is a great motivator.
Apparently, we should all stay home forever and wear four masks if we dare risk annihilation and leave the house for necessities.
Good grief.
