Grim Covid-19 Death Predictions Being Made For Both The U.S. And Europe

Market Watch: WHO warns of possible 236,000 new COVID-19 deaths in Europe by December, and Fauci says U.S. could see another 100,000

New death estimate is ‘entirely predictable, but entirely preventable,’ Fauci tells CNN

The World Health Organization warned Monday that Europe will likely see 236,000 new COVID-19 deaths by Dec. 1, and Dr. Anthony Fauci said the U.S. could suffer another 100,000 deaths in the same time frame, mostly among people who continue to refuse vaccination.

“Last week, there was an 11% increase in the number of deaths in the region — one reliable projection is expecting 236,000 deaths in Europe, by Dec. 1,” WHO Europe director Hans Kluge said, as AFP reported.

So far, Europe has suffered about 1.3 million COVID-19 fatalities.

High transmission rates across the continent are “deeply worrying, particularly in the light of low vaccination uptake in priority populations in a number of countries,” said Kluge.

Vaccination rates are lowest in countries in the Balkans, the Caucasus and in some former Soviet republics.
