| U.S. & WORLD BRIEFS | COVID’s US toll projected to drop sharply by the end of July NEW YORK (AP) — Teams of experts are projecting COVID-19’s toll on the U.S. will fall sharply by the end of July, according to research released by the government Wednesday. But they also warn that a “substantial increase” in hospitalizations and deaths is possible if unvaccinated people do not follow basic precautions such as wearing a mask and keeping their distance from others. The Centers for Disease Control and Pre- vention paper included projections from six research groups. Their assignment was to predict the course of the U.S. epidemic be- tween now and September under different scenarios, depending on how the vaccina- tion drive proceeds and how people behave. Mainly, it’s good news. Even under sce- narios involving disappointing vaccination rates, COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations and deaths are expected to drop dramati- cally by the end of July and continue to fall afterward. The CDC is now reporting an average of about 350,000 new cases each week, 35,000 hospitalizations and over 4,000 deaths.
