"We are now more than 250,000 deaths, a quarter of a million deaths.You could go well over 300,000 and closer more than that if we do not go back the things around, "said Fauci." I do not want it to be a Doomsday statement. He is in our power not to leave These figures occur, "he said." The fact is that you do not have to accept these numbers as unavoidable.

Dr. Fauci says the virus is extended to small gatherings
Mr. Faisci's warning is particularly careful this week because families gather for Thanksgiving. "People must remember that the types of infections we see now are infections in this situation, in the exact framework: a dinner, a social gathering, 5, 10, 15 people apparently arranged innocently and inadvertently improvingly .
But what we find, as the asymptomatic people, namely without symptoms, which can enter into this type of inadvertent and innocent and innocent infection because you are inside, you do not wear a mask. You do not have the kind of ventilation and moving the air you have outside.
And we actually make sure - not hypothetically, but in reality - we start seeing a considerable number of case instances where you have the same type of innocent family and friends gathering inside that turn into places where the virus is broadcast. So, to the extent possible, it's hard to avoid that, please try to avoid that and to constrain the types of things you do to the immediate family and the people you make sure they are cautious. "
The CDC seconds of his opinion and warned against Thanksgiving gatherings and travel for that reason.

Opinions vary from the danger of small gatherings
Other experts sounded similar alarms on these gatherings. Household gatherings have "becoming a major vector of the spread of diseases," the Secretary of Health and Human Services,Alex Azar, said in an interview with CNNend of October.
"These are the informal and private gatherings where we see the contact that takes off in terms of infection rates," said Ned Lamont of Connecticut, said earlier this month. It limited 10 people gatherings. Other states take similar measures.
However,The New York TimesThis week was a little doubt on the data of these decisions. "Household meetings undoubtedly contribute to the transmission of the virus community. Canada's recent Thanksgiving has certainly added to its increasing cases; such an increase can happen here too, while the United States embarked in a season of Vacations like non other. That's why the disease control and prevention centers Thursday warned so strongly against collection with other people outside the household for Thanksgiving, "said the paper." But are dinners and Court barbecues back the engine leading to the current overvoltage of infections? The available data does not support this conflict, scientists say. Nevertheless, the idea has been repeated so often that it has become a conventional wisdom, resulting in significant restrictions in many states. "
"Someone says something and someone else says it, then he just becomes the truth," Julia Marcus, an infectious epidemic of Harvard University's disease, told the newspaper. "I'm worried about this story that does not seem to be based on the data yet."
The paper stated that it was "almost impossible" to follow all the sources of overvoltage. To this end, use the utmost precaution and avoid all situations that make you vulnerable and to ensure your health and health of others, do not miss these 35 places you are most likely to catch coronavirus .
