Good Lifestyle

After a long winter of pandemic, Americans can be dreamed of aircraft, trains and exotic destinations, but none of these travel characteristics are safe in the foreseeable future, saysDr. Anthony Fauci, the main expert on infectious diseases of the nation and the Chief Medical Councilor of President Biden."It's not a good idea to travel, from the period," said Façi during a recent CNN town hall onCOVID-19 [Feminine.And that goes for you to be vaccinated or not. "To be vaccinated does not say that you have a free pass to travel," said Fauci. "He does not say that you have a free pass to put aside all the public health measures that we Let's talk about all the time.

Flock of immunity a long passage

These measures includeCarry a face maskBy avoiding great gatherings and observing a safe social distance from people who do not live in your household - which, for now, does not mean travel.

The advent ofCOVID vaccinecan give a false sense of security. But the experts claim that we are far from 75 to 80% of the population that needs to be vaccinated to reach the immunity of the flock. On February 10,The CDC saysJust over 9.8 million people received the two doses of vaccine - about 3% of Americans.

"Until we get the overwhelming proportion of the vaccinated population, the community virus level will always be high enough," said Fuci in aQ & A with WUSA Newslast Friday. "You should not travel unless you really do not get to travel."

And remember, even when you get the vaccine, immunity takes a little time to launch: about two weeks after your second dose. "You can get some degree of protection that is not sustainable 10 days at 14 days after the first dose, but you can not rely on that," said Fauci. "Maximum immunity begins about 10 days to two weeks and beyond the second dose. This applies to anyone who you want to travel or not."

Also critical: researchers do not know if the vaccine prevents the transmission of the virus. You could always be able to contract it and transmit it, even if the vaccine prevents you from showing symptoms. So, just like the vaccine is not a ticket to travel, it is also not a license to lose your mask when you are in public. "Currently, we do not have enough data to be able to tell confidence that vaccines can prevent transmission. So even if it is vaccinated, you may always be able to broadcast the virus to vulnerable people. Masks are essential until we learn more and significantly reduce infections ", inaccurateTweeted February 4th.
