As a coronavirus death of more than 169 000 in the United States, Dr. Anthony Fauci, Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and Member of the Coronavirus Working Group, sat on an online interview withThe Washington PostGeoff Edgers to talk about how we can get the virus under control. During the interview, he said three words that each American should hear - as well as what to do when a parcel arrives, when to remove your mask and more. Read on its essential advice and cross this pandemic at your healthier, do not miss theseWithout signs that you have already had coronavirus.

"We know that the virus for a limited period can live on what is called fomites, which are inanimate objects. So, what I do, for example, when something comes - the package, you know, I do not Do not rub it. I just left it on the side for a few days before I opened it. And even this is probably too excited, because most of the things we are talking about, it's basically a respiratory virus. even If there is the possibility, if not the reality, of a small part of it being transmitted by things you can touch. So I think to wash your hands really the need to clean everything around you. The only thing you could do very easily. "

"A mask that is you is much more efficient in the prevention of droplets and virus aerosols outside. It is also obviously protective against things like droplets that come your way. But the main reason to become universally. Recommended was the awareness that there are so many people - up to 45% of infected people, who do not even know it because they have no symptoms. If we all assume that we are all infected And we are all without symptoms, then we will not get sick, but there is a danger that we could affect someone else: that's the reason for having a mask. You have the secondary benefits Whether if there is someone who is infected to protect you. But if everyone would wear a mask, it would be: I would help society and help me. That's the reason for that. "

"My blood evaporates when I see people inside in a bar or in a crowded area ... because of the narrow proximity without mask is really not a good thing to do. What is it Who is even worse is inside in a crowd without a mask with a small ventilation, because the outside is always better than inside. And I think it's where people are confused ... If you are going to be In a group like this, what there is really no reason to do it, that even though from the outside, dissipates much better than inside, when you are near, you should wear a Mask - where people are confused, it is because, at all aspects of the outside, you may want to keep a mask with you, but you do not have to wear it necessarily. "

"If you go on a hike in the woods and no one comes for a thousand meters, you do not really need to wear a mask. What you want to do is to have it with you. So, if you have arrived to be put in a situation where there is an inability to physically separate, you could immediately go, okay, do it. As, in the evening I was jogging in my neighborhood and I could see ... like a few hundred of meters in front of me. Nobody was there. You know, I got my mask like this and I ran along. And that, as soon as you start to spend people where you can not stay good distance. , do not do this period. "

"I probably realize in person, but in the circumstances that, if what I see in grocery stores, what I see in Starbucks, what I see is that you have six feet or more, X exit here and Do not move before the person in front of you. I think the polling stations will do that. If they do six feet, I do not want to have a problem, but I absolutely understand people who have a concern about it, which should be able to vote by mail. "

"This is the only pathogen I have ever seen who has a wide range of manifestations that you have to scratch his head. There are 40% of people do not receive symptoms at all. In general, young people do not get sick very well, nor they need hospitalization with exceptions that are real exceptions ... People. Certains are in bed for weeks with residual that may last month or, maybe more. We do not have enough experience to find out how long it is. Some need hospitalizations, some require intensive care, some require ventilation, and some die. If you look at statistics, clearly seniors and underlying conditions have the worst problem. And the probability they will have a bad result. The problem is that younger people who will probably not be a symptoms the exceptions we know, they will probably not be one of the symptoms. »

"There is understandable perception of their part and I would say innocently, because they do not think about it is that:.? If I'm infected and I do not get symptoms, who cares that I'm in a vacuum, I'm not going to hurt someone else. It's incorrect because, inadvertently, you spread an epidemic that kills people because by your being infected or not worrying, if you are infected, what you do not do yet, but it is true that it is likely that even if you have no symptoms, whether you transmit to someone else who will pass it to someone else who transmit him to the mother of a person or a father, great Mother, woman on chemotherapy for breast cancer and immune deficient child. Thus, when you are dealing in a global pandemic, and in this case, a national epidemic, you are not in the void, you will either be part of the solution by protecting yourself, or you will be part of the problem of the spread ? »

"We try to instill in people: you have your own personal responsibility not to hurt yourself, but you have a societal responsibility not to spread something that is bad for the economy, bad for employment, and which happens to kill some people. Many people: 164,000 people have already found death in this country if this pandemic is really, really bad then, why do you want to be part of the propagation of it and that's why in our society Division has become ..? Really, really leads. You have people on one side and the people on the other. Thus, instead of looking at public health as a vehicle or mechanism to safely open the country, some people look at public health as an obstacle to open the country. And it should not be that way ... it should be the society pulling as a whole to get this thing Darn under control ".

"He's the guy who really loves me, huh? Well, I'm not worried about what he says. It's a bit, I mean, I think you could say that when he does that, which triggers part of the madness in society to start threatening me, thoroughly threatening me, what really happens. I mean, who would have thought when I was at the medical school, do things to save the lives of people who have to happen around a security detail? I mean, it's really ridiculous .... I just heard people he sacked me on television, very good. If he wants to do it, let him do. I will not let me distract from that. »

"People do not understand ... that science is a process of iterative self-correction. When you are involved in a static situation that does not change, the scientific facts and what you use as evidence to make decisions, political recommendations Shouldn "is a lot of change at all. But when you are dealing with a moving and ever-changing target pandemic with which we have never had any prior experience, you need to make decisions and recommendations based on the data and the evidence you have at some point. But as a measure of the evolution of the situation, too, will be proof. So, too, the data and you must be humble enough and flexible enough to change things according to what the latest data and evidence that are interpreted by some people like: "Scientists are mistaken, they change their minds they are fool us. " No, what you do is flexible enough that you will learn more and more to make the data and the evidence lead your recommendations ".

"It will end. I mean, when you are in something that is so stressful, you have to worry about desperate as" my God, I am in a desperate situation. "It's not, it will end. We will come out of that and we will come back to normal. So it's really one of these situations:Do not abandon. Do not despair, do not throw caution in the wind. We can end this issue, the combination of public health measures and scientific advances in vaccines and therapies and prevention, I will guarantee that. As for normality, he said, "I do not think it's going to be 2024. I think it's going to be more like the end of 2021.
