Make plans for the third quarter of 2021, not the first, says Fauci
John Whyte, MD, MPH, said, "You know, I always ask my colleagues," What should we ask Dr. Fauci? "So, I want to give them an opportunity. The question was:" Many people postponed their weddings from 2020 to March or April of 2021. Do they need to postpone again? '
"You know, they should have postponed him until June or July," Fauci answered.
"I do not think they'll be happy to hear that," said Whyte.
"I'm sorry, John. We do not know. I think it's going to work that way if we do it effectively. It depends on how effective we are."
Fauci said 75% or more of the country had to be vaccinated even before approaching the immunity of the herd.
"If we get the priority vaccinated, those that ACIP (Consultative Committee on Immunization Practices) recommends, in March or early April, we could then start in April doing what I call" open season "on vaccinations - namely, anyone in the general population who wants to be vaccinated will be vaccinated, "he said. If this is the case (when we cross April, May, June, July), at the moment we enter the middle Or at the end of the summer, I think we can have 70% -85% of the vaccinated population if we do it correctly. When this happens, there will be a protection umbrella throughout the country. The level of Virus will be so low that you were essentially able to establish a flock immunity. So, I am looking forward to Y that we finish in the second quarter and that we enter the third quarter of 2021. "

We will follow public health measures for a long time
Fuci said something similar earlier this weekPodcast-19 of FiveThirtyight. He explained that everything depends on whether the Americans decide to be vaccinated. "It depends on our success in the vaccination of what I would say is a vast majority of the population, between 70 and 85%," he revealed. "If we can do that, in the middle of the summer, I think we arrived in the fall, October, November, sometimes like that, I think we will be very close to a degree of normality."
Even with vaccinated people, you must observe public health measures. "Until you get a degree of immunity, that the level of infection is so low in the population, that there is really no more threat of a person who has been infected. Because when You get the virus right now, we have a massive amount of community spread in the United States, "said Fauci." If you come down to a very very very low base, you could start withdrawing things like a mask bearing and gathering. You can start going to restaurants and go to a movie or go to a theater, but until you get this level of really low virus in vaccinating, a substantial proportion of the population, you still have to have some measure of public health measures that you implement.
