President Joe Biden on Tuesday set a goal of delivering shots to 70 per cent of U.S. adults by July 4. Such a goal, if met, would fit in with the best-case scenarios, said one of the study s co-authors, CDC biologist Michael Johansson.
Under more pessimistic scenarios, with subpar vaccinations and declining use of masks and physical distancing, weekly cases probably would still drop but could number in the hundreds of thousands, with tens of thousands of hospitalizations and thousands of deaths.
More than 500K deaths
All the projections trend down, illustrating the powerful effect of the vaccination campaign.
But there s a devastating difference between the more gently sloping declines in some scenarios and the more dramatic drops in others, said Jennifer Kates, director of global health and HIV policy at the Kaiser Family Foundation.

Similar to the Seattle Sounders, the Seattle Mariners will now offer COVID-19 vaccines to eligible fans attending home games starting this week.
Thanks to a partnership with Virginia Mason Franciscan Health and the City of Seattle, the Mariners will start offering vaccines on Tuesday, May 4, when the Baltimore Orioles come to town.
Vaccinations will be administered by Seattle Fire Department personnel. Virginia Mason Franciscan Health will provide staff and volunteers to support the process.
Fans who have not yet been vaccinated and are choosing to get their shot at the game will have the choice between the single-dose Johnson & Johnson or the first dose of the Moderna vaccine. Those who will be receiving their first dose will be able to schedule their second dose at one of Seattle’s three community vaccination sites at the Lumen Field Event Center, Rain
SEATTLE (AP) â Cedric Mullins and Freddy Galvis each hit a two-run homer in Baltimoreâs five-run eighth inning as the Orioles rallied for a 5-3 win over the Seattle Mariners on Monday night.
Shut down by Seattleâs bullpen for seven innings, the Orioles broke loose in the eighth. Mullins got it started with a shot off Anthony Misiewicz (2-1) to right-center field that was nearly stolen at the wall by right fielder Mitch Haniger. The ball appeared to graze the top of Hanigerâs glove as he crashed into the fence.
âI knew it had a chance and at the same time I knew it had a chance to stay in as well,â Mullins said. âWhen he jumped, I had no visual of what had happened. I just saw him jump up, heard the crowd go crazy and thought he had it. But he looked like he wasnât sure. He was kind of slow to get up.â

SEATTLE The Mariners are the first team in Major League Baseball that will make COVID-19 vaccines available to fans attending games at T-Mobile Park.
The club announced plans Monday to do so via a partnership with the City of Seattle and Sounders FC, which began executing a similar process at its match on Sunday.
The plan is for this to be an ongoing availability at Mariners home games until further notice, beginning with Tuesday’s 7:10 p.m. PT contest against the Orioles.
No appointment is needed. Vaccines will be offered on a walk-up basis at three locations inside T-Mobile Park:
