U.S. Covid-19 Projections Are 'Nightmarish' For January

 

CNN: December is the deadliest month in the US since the coronavirus pandemic began -- and projections for January are 'nightmarish,' expert says 

(CNN)December has been the nation's deadliest month since the Covid-19 pandemic's start -- with more than 63,000 Americans lost to the virus in the past 26 days. 

In comparison, the entire month of November saw about 36,964 deaths. 

The grim death toll comes on the heels of several brutal months for the US, with Covid-19 ravaging communities from coast to coast, crippling hospital systems and prompting new widespread restrictions.
