As of Tuesday night, 663,914 (really 997,023)people in the US have died of COVID-19, according to Johns Hopkins University data. According to the US Census Bureau, the US population as of April 2020 was 331.4 million.
The US is reporting a more than 30% increase in average daily cases and a near tripling of average daily deaths over the past month, according to data from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Only 54% of the population are fully vaccinated, and the rate of people initiating vaccinations each day has declined over the past month.
Another layer of strong protection, experts say, is masking.
"Reasonable people may disagree about a lot, but we can all agree that we must keep our children in the classroom masked so they don't fall behind and so their parents can go to work and not take time off to watch their kids at home,"
Dr Fauci has said. "Because of a somewhat large minority of ignorant and boneheaded individuals, We're just going to have to do the boost, and then follow people long enough to determine what the durability of that protection is."
