The number of U.S. coronavirus cases are set to nearly double, bringing the total number of infections to about 20 million by the time President-elect Joe Biden is inaugurated on January 20, a new study suggests. And the death toll could well rise to more than 387,000, the model predicts. They urge for reopenings to be rolled back - although only slightly - in order to avert an estimated five million cases by the end of January. That was probably the case in those earlier days of the pandemic but, now, with the U.S. doing nearly two million coronavirus tests a day, Dr Yao says it's probably closer to 25 percent of all cases that are detected. In other words, we know that the virus tends to spread most efficiently through groups who live or socialize together.
