Dr. Fauci says we are not "rounding around" or the corner
President Trump stated that "rounding the turn" on the virus. It's not true, says Fauci. "No, no, it's not. I mean I think it's - if you just watched the numbers, I mean you can have opinions about what's going on, but the data talk about 'themselves. Yesterday, we had more than 70,000 cases. Additional cases in a day. And we had ... about a thousand deaths, and if you look at the United States map, there are Areas above a certain percentage, that is to say an indication, percentage of positive tests, that is to say an indication. that you really go in the wrong direction. So, I think we Let's really - as I say, we do not want to close again. There is also no appetite in this country for the closure in a strict way but there are certain public health measures that you can put implemented that would greatly contribute to turn around these increases we see. "
Dr. Faisci has warned again about crowds
"Well, I'm worried about that and I have been vocal about it for some time now. What we need is - and I keep saying it - and it came back to one of the first questions you put me - if we have uniformly carried masks, kept remotely, avoid gathering settings, crowds, especially without masks or especially inside, then if we did these things with hands With the hands as frequent as possible, we could go a long way to not only prevent overvoltages that we can not only prevent the waves see but turn those who are already in progress. This is not so difficult, and you Do not have to close the country to succeed. "

Mr. Fauci said there will indeed be a vaccine at the end of the year, but you may not be able to take it then
"I think we'll know, yes, I think he said that correctly, we will know if a vaccine is safe and effective by the end of November, early December. The question is once you have a safe and efficient vaccine Or more than one, how can you get it to people who need it as quickly as possible? So, the amount of doses available in December will certainly not suffice to vaccinate everyone, you will have to wait several months to 2021 But what happens is that there has been a prioritization of the priority so that individuals such as health workers become very probably slaughtered, as well as those who are likely from the category of category D 'being at an increased risk of complications. It could start by the end of this year, early January, February, March of next year. But when you talk about vaccinating a substantial proportion of the population so you can have an impa Significant CT on the dynamics of the epidemic, which will most likely not be up to the second or third quarter of the year. "
Mr. Fauci declared an all-or-nothing approach to the economy is a false choice
"I believe that if we were doing things cautiously, as a result of science, opening the country - I think we back again to what I say is that there is no phenomenon All or not, you could follow the measures of science and public health without extinguishing the economy without closing the country. There is this feeling that it is an all-or not phenomenon: either you close or just do what you want to do. No, there is a Golden we can keep the country in progress, you can keep the economy go, but you could still practice prudent public health measures such as those that I just mentioned. "
Dr. Faisci stated that a vaccine would still require public health measures
"Well, I think when we get a vaccine and start bringing people vaccinating that we will have a gradual of several months to 2020, we will start to approach a form of normality, depending on the number of people, proportion of the population, let's take the vaccine. And this should be combined with some extent of public health measures. I do not think a vaccine alone, right away, will bring us back to normality, but what I'm planning is that with a successful vaccine and the pursuit of a form of public health measures, as we go and progress over the months of 2021, to the third and fourth quarter, we will see a considerable approach to a form normality. "
Dr. Fauci said the US response was incompatible
"You know I do not have an exact explanation for that, but one of the situations we had in the United States was a bit of an inconsistency in the response to the epidemic in the sense of obtaining all The 50 of our states in our very large country actually respect the guidelines we have stated. And then, when we tried to reopen our country as it was, in the sense of the economy, there was a Inconsistency in different states of what they did to join the guidelines. It is therefore a matter of uniform adhesion to the public health measures we have not done well here in the United States. You know unfortunately I'm sorry to see what I live from afar, what I am I see in the UK that you know after being hit about the way we had a pretty low level, but now, You start steping in the same way as we are here. "
Dr. Fauci hopes science prevails - in an more and more anti-science america
"Oh, I think it's very important because you know we have a situation that is understandable. People watch what their leaders say and do and that you can influence positively or negatively. One of the things I It is concerned in the United States, it is that the part of anticrofinia may be reflected in anti-voncine. In particular among some of the most vulnerable people as the minorities of our population. It would really be shame if we have A safe and efficient vaccine, but a substantial proportion of the population do not want to take the vaccine because they do not trust the authority. It would really be regrettable if that's the case. "
