So, let us wear masks in 2022? "It depends on ... the level of virus dynamics that is in the community," responded to Fauci. "If you see the level that really will come down, really very weak - I want it to continue down to a basic so low, that there is virtually no threat" or at least "a minimum threat that you will be exposed to to someone who is infected. So, if you combine most of the inhabitants of the country vaccinated with the level of virus in the very weak community, very weak, I think you will be able to say, you know, for the most part, we do not necessarily have to wear a mask. "
"But", he pursued, if we have a virus level that is at this level, that it was months and months ago, like 20,000 a day, "it" is a devil a lot Better than what has been, but it's always a very high level of virus in the community.

This is not the first time that fauci and other experts have disagree. When asked when we would come back in a form of "normality", Fauci predicted fall or winter. In an OP-ED in theThe Wall Street newspaper, Dr. Marty Makary, Professor at Johns Hopkins Medicine Medicine School and Bloomberg School of Public Health, predicted that it would be much earlier. "There is reason to think that the country ends towards an extremely low level of infection. As more people have been infected, most of them have light symptoms or not, there are fewer Americans. left to be infected, "he wrote. "At the current trajectory, I hope Covid will focus on April, allowing Americans to regain normal life."
Fauci does not agree: "Yeah, I'm not sure it's an immunity from the flock we're talking about," said Dr. Grack onMeet the pressCases that fall. "We had a big summit and it was starting to go down. Certainly, the number of infected people contribute to that. Also a contribution with vaccines - not much. I do not think we spent enough people still to get herd immunity. "
