问题     The United States can expect to see nearly 100,000 more COVID-19 deaths by December 1 unless people change their actions. That estimate comes from the nation’s most closely watched prediction model.
    Health experts say the number of deaths could be cut in half if nearly everyone wore a face covering in public spaces. These predictions show that what happens with coronavirus infections this fall depends on human behavior, said Lauren Ancel Meyers. She is director of the University of Texas COVID-19 Modeling Consortium. "We cannot stop Delta," she said, "but we can change our behavior overnight. "That means wearing face coverings, limiting social gatherings, staying home when sick and getting vaccinated. "Those things are within our control," Meyers said.
    The U. S. is in the middle of its fourth wave of infection. The highly contagious Delta variant of the coronavirus is partly to blame. It has caused a sharp rise in cases, hospitalizations and deaths, and has set back months of progress against the virus.
选项
答案 健康专家表示，如果几乎每个人都在公共场所戴上口罩，死亡人数可能会减少一半。劳伦.安塞尔.迈耶斯说，这些预测表明，今年秋天冠状病毒的感染情况取决于人类行为。她是德克萨斯大学新冠肺炎建模联盟主任。“我们无法阻止德尔塔病毒，”她说，“但我们可以在一夜之间改变我们的行为。”这意味着戴口罩、限制社交聚会、生病时待在家里并接种疫苗。“这些事情在我们的控制范围内，”迈耶斯说。美国正处于第四波感染的中期，高度传染性的德尔塔病毒变种是部分原因。它导致了病例、住院和死亡人数急剧上升，并阻碍了数月来抗击病毒的进展。
