US EditionWhy Are More than 300 People in the US Still Dying From COVID Every Week?
- More than 300 people in the United States are still dying from COVID-19 every week as of 2025, according to CDC data from New York.
- This ongoing mortality results from low updated vaccine uptake, waning immunity, insufficient treatment access, and continued virus circulation among vulnerable groups.
- Currently, only 23% of adults and 13% of children received the updated COVID-19 vaccine during the 2024-25 season, while those 75 and older face the highest death rate of 4.66 per 100,000.
- Antiviral treatments like molnupiravir and paxlovid, effective if started early, require initiation within five days of symptoms and can reduce hospitalization and death by up to 90%, though many patients delay care or miss diagnoses.
- These facts imply that despite improvements, vaccine hesitancy, immunosenescence, and underutilization of tools sustain preventable COVID-19 deaths in high-risk populations.
