"And if you combine the directivity with the lack of uniform use of the masks, you could start having problems really. That's why we're saying now, the outside is always better than indoor, but when You enter the cold of the grave falls at the beginning of winter, it is sometimes impossible to do outside. And if you go to do it inside, especially if there are crowds, You really have to wear a mask .... in this case we are talking about 410,000 deaths, which I hope so surely that we do not even approve that ... It's of course possible. "
"It's a lot of infection"

"Looking at the commemorative day, we had about 40,000 hospitalized people," he said. "We diagnosed about 21,000 new cases a day and had about 1,100 deaths. Now, despite the fact that we have made really important gains in the reduction of mortality in hospitals and the reduction of the length of stay in hospitals Patients hospitalized for Covid at this time, from yesterday, about 35,000 people hospitalized. We diagnosed about 40,000 infections a day. And on a moving average of seven days, we have about 850 tragic deaths per day. c So is a lot of infection to be taking a season when we know a respiratory pathogen will want to spread more aggressively. "

But there was a Increase since JulyOn the part of the Americans who see the pandemic as mainly an economic crisis and on the part that fear that companies take too much time to reopen. "
Said Gottlieb: "The other backdrop here is that people are exhausted. People have made a social distance and wear masks and stay at home for a long time right now. Small businesses hurt. So, I think the willingness of people to comply with the simple things we know we can reduce the spread will start to mingle with fall in the winter. And it's another challenge, trying to Continue our vigilance at a time when we know that it can spread more aggressively. "
