CDC ups Predicted COVID-19 Death Toll

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has once again upped the predicted COVID-19 death toll.  So far, the respiratory virus has killed more than 410,000 Americans since it was first reported in the nation a little over a year ago.  The CDC recently updated its forecast on the number of COVID-19 related fatalities it predicts will transpire in the weeks to come.  New projections anticipate 17,000 to 29,300 new deaths by the week ending on February 13, 2021, which bumped the predicted death toll from 465,000 to 508,000 COVID-19 deaths by that date.
