"I know we're growing up very tired," he said. "But we see the country after the country after the country passes through overvoltages. The case numbers fall for a period of time, then another overvoltage. And I think that will continue to be a model for a while, Until we get the majority of most of the vaccinated world. "
Current surge "Not a surprise"
"It's not a surprise for me that overvoltage is here," osterholm said. "We had more than enough human wood to burn for this coronavirus forest fire."
He added: "We still have at least 85 to 90 million people who could be vaccinated that are not. It's a lot of wood for this burning virus."
More people become vaccinated, but ...

As we see in the United Kingdom, the vaccines clearly played A major. Role in reducing the number of deaths from the number of cases. "

But we need this re-established fastest. possible, what is happening in the United States right now in hot spots.

Back to school could be a calamity
"Unfortunately, the school's environment will now be a serious challenge. And in a sense, we have this current experience and our children are those who are experienced," osterholm said.
