The epidemic of coronavirus in the United States will decline in the coming days, but expect the second wave, which will peak in the winter. This development is predicted to the United States Bank analysts Morgan Stanley, reports Business Insider.
Researchers employed by the Bank, believe that the total number of cases of infection will reach 1.4 million. The pandemic will not stop until a vaccine against SARS-CoV-2 will not be widespread — and it will happen until the spring of 2021.
It is noted that previous analysts were more optimistic: a month ago they were predicting only 200 thousand cases of infection in the United States.
Now the us government is in first place in the world both in the number of identified cases of infection — over 587 thousand and the number of deaths associated with coronavirus new. Died already more than 23 thousand people. These statistics are partially due to the scale of testing that the country has already done more than 2.9 million tests.
In total there are over 2 million infected. Of these, more than 451 thousand are considered to be recovered, and 199,9 thousand patients died.
The outbreak was first recorded in the Chinese city of Wuhan. March 11, the world health organization (who) declared that the situation with coronavirus can be characterized as a pandemic.
