Dr. Anthony Fauci, Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and the Best Infectious Infectious Expert of the Nation, spoke to actor Dennis Quaid on hisDennisse Podcast This weekend, breaking news and helping to put the coronavirus pandemic in the historical context. On the new new front, Fauci revealed what effect of a mutant coronavirus will have on the vaccine and after advising people to avoid early air travel in the pandemic - he had advice that can reassure anxious potential flyers. On the flipside, Fuci described why we live in its worst professional nightmare (and what we need to do next). Read on and ensure your health and health of others, do not miss theseWithout signs that you have already had coronavirus.

Fuci said that as a scientist, "I am generally conservative with regard to the projections of success. I always retain a little." But data from the animal studies and preconsistent tests of a vaccine feels carefully optimistic that we will have a safe and effective vaccine by the end of the year. And we can distribute doses in an extended way as we arrive in 2021. "At the end of the end of the end 2021, it considers most members of the vulnerable groups will be vaccinated.

Fauci said "we can not go back to neglect on this as long as there is virus in society." But if a vaccine is developed at 70% effective, the combination of public health measures and that the vaccine will "exit in a form of normality".

He recognized the number of mental health topics of the last eight months. "We have to convince everyone to hang there because people are worn psychologically with that," he said. "I feel it myself. I could project what others meet. If we can, as a country, hang up, group up until we get a vaccine, I think we can go out this pretty good. "

Quaid expressed anxiety to fly to all of his next film and asked for encouraction how to reduce the risk of contracting coronavirus on an airplane. "If you wear a mask, the chances you are going to [be infected] dramatically," Responded withden. "Most modern aircraft are the new ones who have ... what is called HEPA filters in that the air crosses filters that come out of viral particles. What I would recommend that you do that. Is simply wearing something as simple as a mask - just like that, bingo and you are of good shape. "

"The percentage of positivity of [tests] in recent weeks has been concentrated in people aged 19 to 25," said Fuci. "And this is probably a reflection of the youngest ones there during the holidays, in bars and things like that. But also back to college and gather in colleges, then to be infected and expanded . "

On recent discoveries of scientists that an amino acid inside the coronavirus has changed, which apparently rendered it more contagious: "It does not seem to have an influence on the fact that the vaccine is effective or not, because the Mutation is in a region that does not "have an impact on the vaccine and where the antibodies are binding that are induced by the vaccine."

"People have always asked me over the years, otherwise the decades: an infectious person sickness, what is my worst nightmare?" said Fauci. "And I always say the same answer: that we get the evolution, usually jumping from an animal to a human species - of a respiratory virus that has two fundamental characteristics. One, it is very effectively and effectively transmitted from person to The person. And two, he has a significant degree of morbidity and mortality, especially in some subgroups. We had experiences with epidemics that had only one but not the other. And they n. 'Have never really been the nightmare scenario. Avian influenza - when she used to jump from a chicken to a human-had killed humans, but it did not work effectively with humans.

"Then we had the pandemic influenza of 2009 that spread very very effectively. The only problem was like a Wimpy virus that did not kill many people. So, the perfect storm is when you get both. That's exactly what we live. "

"If you look at epidemics of new infections, about 70 to 75% of them are what we call zoonotic, they are a virus or pathogen of any kind whose natural host is an animal that is Probably adapted over the centuries., To the point that the animal does not usually fall sick, "said Fuci." But once he jumps species to a naive host, like a human man, then you can get from Epidemic and pandemic epidemics. And if you look at the story of our epidemics, HIV - a chimpanzee to a certain population around the world. Influenza is basically a wild bird disease that has adapted to humans. Ebola, also the same thing.

"The more we disturb the environment and the human-animal interface, the more the chance you were going to have these pathogens jumping from the species and to adapt to humans."

"Take away for me is that we have a lot of lessons we'd better learn from this terrible historic experience that we are going through," says Fauci. "It has been the worst pandemic we had in 102 years, since 1918. The lessons are that our health system was not enough to deal with the situation we faced; the other lesson learned is the disparity at The seriously ill people, the racial disparities still present, which are something we have such an obligation to try to correct our society.
