The team’s predictions show four different scenarios that can be based on the percentage of the vaccinated population and the speed at which Delta is spreading. The current CDC data shows that 68.7% of adults In the United States, I have received at least one COVID-19 vaccination.
The study found that the most likely scenario is that the Delta variant peaked in the United States in October, with 60,000 cases and 850 deaths per day. The worst case scenario is much more severe, with 240,000 new cases and 4,000 new deaths every day. If only 70% of Americans were vaccinated, both of these could happen.
Different variables may change these results, mainly if more people are actually vaccinated.
