According to experts, this is due to people ignoring masks and opening educational institutions.

“I regret to say that we may face an apocalyptic autumn,” said Dr. Peter Hotez, Dean of the Department of Tropical Medicine at Baylor University.

According to him, the forecast is due to the fact that "we are reopening schools and colleges in places with a large number of cases" and because of the inaction of the US federal authorities, which "do not tell people to wear masks and take other precautions."

It is noted that the same opinion is shared by Joanna Marazzo, director of the Department of Infectious Diseases at the University of Alabama.

Earlier, American leader Donald Trump said that the United States intends to begin distributing the American vaccine against the coronavirus infection COVID-19 in October.
