One of the pre-eminent of the nationcoronavirusExperts, Dr. Michael T. Osterholm appeared on the NBCMeet the pressSunday morning with a bucket of cold water to pour to anyone who thinks the worst of the virus is behind us. "Let me say we're in the hurricane's eye right now," Osterholm said Chuck Todd. He stated that the higher, more communicable variants and recent nurseries in Europe were of concern, and not a relaxation of restrictions. Read it for more warnings - and to ensure your health and health of others, do not miss theseWithout signs that you have already had coronavirus.

"Let me just say that we are in the hurricane eye right now," Osterholm said. "It seems that things are going very well." You could "see blue sky," he said. "We have crossed a terrible terrible year, but what we know is about to come on us, it is this situation with this variant of virus that is from the United Kingdom, that today ravage in some parts of Europe-27 countries have seen important cases with it really strong. Many of these countries have been locking now for two months, just to try to control this virus. "Just recently, The variants constituted "4% of the viruses we saw in communities across the country. Today, there is up to 30 to 40%. And when we saw in Europe when we hit this score of 50 %, you will see the cases of overvoltage. So, at the moment, we must keep America as safe as possible from this virus, leaving any of the public health measures we have taken. and we must do vaccinate people as quickly as possible. "

Dr. Osterholm congratulated the Biden Administration on his vaccine effort, but said, "We must also tell the story of what is always before us. And 2.9 to 3 million doses of vaccine daily over the next six to 14 weeks. The overvoltage is likely to happen - will not really take care of the problem now. More than half of our elders from this country have not been vaccinated or just started their first dose. This means that 80% of deaths usually occur, which is in this age group, they are very vulnerable entering the next four to six weeks. Now, I have to tell you, I am very grateful that we have vaccinated the 1.4 million people in long-term care facilities, but we still have many people at high risk that when this overvoltage happens, it goes fundamentally be very vulnerable. "

"The other thing we see right now is that every governor wants to open schools," osterholm said. "And I understand that as a grandfather, five children, I have grandchildren, I get it. But the problem is that if you look at Europe right now, the challenge we see is a lot of transmission in schools with this new variant. In my original state of Minnesota, we have just announced an epidemic of more than 68 people at the high school sports. We will therefore have difficult days to come to the elderly population and in the young population with this new virus variant. "

Dr. Anthony Fauci, The Chief Medical Officer of the President and Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said the CDC would publish advice soon on what people are also vaccinated and can not do. Until then, "We must recognize that, what is the public likely to do with the guidelines we give them?" Tell Osterholm. "If we just say to the people they had to stay coconed, they had to stay at home, that they had to continue to wear their mask, even if they are fully vaccinated, they are not going to do that. They. will ignore the recommendation of public health. We must therefore be real. We have to say, you know, what does it mean that if I did not see my grandchildren for the last year? And I am Now vaccinated, my spouse is vaccinated. You know that can I see that these children are not, they are not as if they have a vaccine through the next fall or next winter, we have to be practical ... .So What can we provide them with reasonable information that gives them the best case to protect themselves. As, you know what? You do not attack me tonight in a crowded restaurant somewhere, even with vaccination. I think That's what we need to focus on and what we need to do the types of things that are really much safer. "

Follow the fundamentals of Fauci and help put an end to this pandemic, no matter where you live-wear a facial mask which adapts perfectly and is double layers, do not travel, the social distance, avoid the big crowds, do not go inside with people you do not go with (especially in the bars), practice a good hand hygiene, get vaccinated when it becomes available to you, and protect your life and the lives of others, do not visit these 35 places you are most likely to catch Covid .
