“I think this is the first glimpse of low population growth,” Frew said. He said, “It is telling you that this (epidemic) is having an impact on the population.” According to the Census Bureau estimates, the population of America has increased by 0.35 percent from July 2019 to July 2020, i.e. the population has increased by 11 lakhs.
The estimated population was 329 million in July. According to Fray’s analysis, this is the lowest increase in this century. The rate of population increase in 1918 to 1919 during the Spanish flu was 0.49 percent. There is a slight decline in population in the Northeast and Midwest regions of the US from 2019 to 2020, while there is a slight increase in the South and West regions.
