The fourth wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in the U.S. may be tapering off as cases drop for the first time in 3 months, according to the latest update from the University of Minnesota’s Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy.
“There’s pretty decent agreement that we’re at the peak in cases nationally,” Shaun Truelove, PhD, an assistant scientist at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, told NBC News. “There’s quite a bit of variability between states, but as a whole, it seems that we’re at or near the peak of this thing.”
Based on projections at Johns Hopkins, cases will continue to decline through at least January 2022, which is the current endpoint for the forecast. “Barring any rapid new change to the virus, that’s kind of the direction we’re going to continue to go -- downward,” he said. Though cases and hospitalizations seem to be declining, deaths will likely peak in the coming weeks, the center reported. The U.S. is reporting more than 2,000 COVID-19 deaths per day, which is increasing about 12%, according to theThe fall in COVID-19 numbers during the coming months will likely be a “slow burn” decline, NBC News reported.
