President Joe Biden’s top medical adviser, Anthony Fauci, said yesterday that an analysis shows the number of people who have died in the United States from Newcastle Pneumonia (COVID-19) is likely to exceed 900,000, and he believes the current official figure of 580,000 is a significant underestimate.
Interviewed by NBC’s Meet the Press, Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), said the analysis released by the University of Washington on June 6 The actual number of deaths from the epidemic in the United States could exceed 900,000.
Fauci said 900,000 is more than he estimated, and that the official figure is a significant underestimate.
According to the latest statistics from Johns Hopkins University (Johns Hopkins University) this morning, the U.S. has officially notified more than 32.7 million confirmed cases so far, and more than 581,000 people have lost their lives to the disease.
But since January of this year, vaccination rates have increased, allowing the number of new cases to decline.
Jeffrey Zients, White House coordinator for vaccination, told CNN’s talk show State of the Union that 58 percent of adults in the United States have received at least one dose of the vaccine.
Zianz also said, “I would say we are turning the corner.”
He added that the task for the White House now is to continue to build public confidence in the vaccine, as well as to get more Americans to administer it to slow the spread of new coronaviruses and various mutant strains.
Biden also recently suggested that he hopes to have 70 percent of the nation’s adults get at least one dose of the vaccine by July 4.
