COVID-19 striking difficult minorities
"One of the dominant questions of all this is the extraordinary disparity, both in the incidents and the prevalence of infection, as well as the serious and serious consequences" among the minorities contracting Covid, said Façi, verifying many Minority groups and on the basis of Latinx community. "If you look at the number of hospitalizations per 100,000, it was 359 at Latinx [persons] against 78 in the whites. If you look at the deaths per 100,000 linked to Covid-19, it is 61 in Latinx vs. 40 in the White. "
He concluded: "Clearly, we have an extraordinary problem".
What needs to be done
Fauci described what is needed to remedy this inequality from health, now and in the future. "Ensure that good testing and immediate access resources focus on the distribution of resources between the Latinx community," he said. "But too, I think it must now define and reshape this extraordinary disparity related to the social determinants of the health of the Latinx community. The fact that they have a higher incidence of comorbidities that put you in danger - it is to say something you do not repair in a month or a year. It is something that requires a commitment of decades to modify these social determinants, which make this community more likely to diabetes, to obesity, to Hypertension, to a kidney disease. "

"There have been five vaccinated candidates in Phase III trial in the United States," he said. "I think we will have an answer at the end of this year, the beginning of next year, as to whether it is safe and effective. I am cautiously optimistic that we will have an answer, but the way we get we get Reception. Make the scientific approach. "
When a vaccine will be available
"I think we can be carefully optimistic that it will be available in November, December," said Fuci. "It's not going to be, having every 700 million doses available at that time. It will take until April. But in December, there will be more than one hundred million doses available."

How long can you be vaccinated
Seeing that the vaccine doses will be limited at the beginning, Fauci described the order of priority in which people will probably be able to obtain the vaccine. "We do not have a final determination, but if things work in the way they usually do vaccines that initially appear in a shorter offer, it will be health workers first, because they put them at risk. Right now to take care of people, "said Fauci. "Then it will be the most vulnerable, the elderly, people with underlying conditions. Then it will be people who have essential jobs in society for the company to happen, and other seniors who Do not necessarily have underlying conditions. And finally, everyone else - young people and young people in good health. "
