America will battle coronavirus for two years and could face an even bigger peak this fall, pandemic experts warn

America's coronavirus crisis will take up to two years to extinguish, according to top pandemic experts bracing the country to hunker down for the long-haul.

Their report paints a bleak picture for the near future, with people continuing to die in all possible outcomes mapped out by the scientists.

Health bosses will be particularly alarmed at the worst-case scenario which forecasts a second larger spike as early as this fall.

It would eclipse even the United States' current outbreak, which has infected over a million and killed 63,836.

This modelling echoes the latest projections of White House infectious disease expert Anthony Fauci, who said another wave of the virus is 'inevitable'.

Two of the three scenarios also dash hopes of a permanent end to lockdown, with the authors predicting social distancing measures will need to be reimposed to wrestle down future waves.
