“Tran also said in his post that projections show as many as 1 in 3 people in the U.S. could be infected with COVID during the peak months of the current wave and up to 2 million people could be infected in a single day — data he attributed to Michael Hoerger, Ph.D., assistant professor at Tulane University School of Medicine who leads the Pandemic Mitigation Collaborative’s data tracker.”

Is what true? The data? The projection? (that’s not true or false, it’s an estimate of what may happen) The post headline is not accurate; if you read the article you’ll see it doesn’t claim 1 in 3 will get COVID, it makes a projection that as many as 1 in 3 may get it. So it sounds like 1 in 3 is the upper end of the range of the projection.
