More than 1 million people have died due to COVID-19 in the two and a half years since the pandemic began ripping through the United States, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported Monday.
The agency determined that COVID-19 was associated with over 1,000,200 deaths using data gleaned from death certificates. COVID-19 was listed as the primary cause of death on at least 90% of certificates.Two years ago, a million fatalities linked to the disease was an inconceivable toll. Dr. Anthony Fauci and Dr. Deborah Birx, who formed part of former President Donald Trump’s COVID-19 response team, predicted in March 2020 that, with mitigation measures in place, 100,000 to 240,000 U.S.
The U.S. has entered a phase in the pandemic in which the rate of severe infections and deaths has dropped so much that the vast majority of people have resumed their normal lives without much concern for possible infection. But people who lost loved ones to COVID-19 may never reach that kind of normalcy again.
The Biden administration is already gearing up for a renewed surge in the fall and winter driven by omicron subvariants that evade vaccine protection, as well as waning immunity from vaccines and prior infection. An administration official said earlier this month that the U.S. could see another 100 million cases during a fall and winter surge, as well as thousands more deaths, according to the Washington Post.
“We will not have enough of those vaccines for all Americans. We’re going to run out of treatments, we’re going to run out of testing,” Ashish Jha, the White House's coronavirus response coordinator, told ABC last week. “If Congress does not do that now, we’re going to go into this fall and winter with none of the capabilities we have developed over the last two years.”
