Nearing 100,000 COVID Deaths, U.S. Is Still 'Early In This Outbreak'
, director of Harvard Global Health Institute and professor of health policy at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.As you look at this number looming now, what are you reflecting on?Well, a couple of things. First of all, it is a solemn moment to reflect on the idea that about 100,000 Americans have died — mostly just in the last two months. The speed with which this has happened is really devastating.
But the nature of this pandemic is that it starts and kind of accelerates in big cities, but then it moves out into the suburbs and into the rural areas. So, by the time we're done with this, I think every American will have felt it much more up close and personal. That's what I worry about — that it shouldn't have to take that for people to really understand how tragic this is and how calamitous in many ways this is.
Q: There's been talk of a seasonal aspect to this. Whatever happens over the summer, do we face even more deaths as we head later in the year?
