The most knowledgeable person about coronaviruses in the USA,
Dr Ralph Baric of UNC-CH
just said in an another radio interview ( in previous posts above he has done 2 fifty minute long interviews)
that the USA will suffer 250,000 to 400,000 more deaths
the Covid-19 pandemic will taper off in the Fall of 2021
but 20,000 to 60,000 US citizens will continue to die as Covid joins with 20,000 to 60,000 Influenza deaths
during a now different “Winter virus season.”

Way more pessimistic than my statement above.
