Experts warned that the Great Thanksgiving move and the aftermath of family gatherings at the end of November will be reflected in earnest this month and will fuel the corona spread as it coincides with the Christmas holiday season.

Anthony Pouch, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), the nation’s leading epidemic expert, was concerned that he was “really very worried” regarding the spread of the third coronavirus pandemic.

He predicted, “In the aftermath of Thanksgiving trips, family gatherings, and indoor social gatherings in winter, the corona spread will peak in 2-3 weeks and peak in the Christmas holiday season.”

He then cited a model for predicting corona deaths from the Institute of Health and Measurement Analysis (IHME) at the Washington Medical University, warning that the total number of deaths could reach more than 500,000 by April next year.

IHME predicted that by April 1, next year, the number of corona deaths in the U.S. would reach 538,893 in a predictive model released the day before.
