Dr. Faisci has just begged all the Americans to do this one
"If you have a weak link in the chain, you do not win the game," he said. Instead, do that.
Six months in the coronavirus pandemic, myths, mistakes and false information spread as quickly as the disease itself. In an Instagram direct conversation with actor Matthew McConaughey, Dr. Anthony Fauci has erased some of these myths and emphasized real stages Americans must take to cancel the virus. During the process, the news broke a news, giving its last estimate on a coronavirus vaccine, which weighs on whether there should be a national locking this fall and revealing the most important thing. that we can all do to end the pandemic. Here are the things he said who are worth repeating.
There are "very disturbing" long-term side effects on COVID
"We are starting to see more and more people who apparently recover from the actual viral part of it, then weeks later, they feel weak. They feel tired, they feel dead, they feel at Next to blow, "said Fauci. "It's a chronic projection in front of the symptoms, even if the virus is gone. And we think it's probably an immunological effect. It's very disturbing, because if it's true for many people, you will not know that it may not be correct. You can have weeks when you do not feel exactly correct. "
Zinc is not effective
At the beginning of the pandemic, a viral email distributed people to take zinc pellets to shorten the duration of COVID-19. Fauci said he had seen "no evidence" that zinc works in this way. "The thing that happens a lot, which confuses people, do you get viruses, you put them on a plate or in a culture and you throw all kinds there. And many compounds suppress replication" , did he declare. "But when you arrive at a clinical trial and give it to people with the disease, more often, these things have no beneficial effect. There are many more things that work in the test tube that does not work Not in the body. "

Asymptomatic people can propagate the virus
"When you look at the level of virus in someone's nasal pharynx that is symptomatic against without symptoms, the level is exactly the same," said Fauci. "So you can make the hypothesis that ... without symptoms, you can spread it. We know very good studies that asymptomatic people can lead the transmission of this virus."
The immunity of the flock is a dangerous idea
When McConaughey asked for Fuci what would happen if everyone in the coronavirus contracted world, "he replied," If everyone contract it, even with the relatively high percentage of people without symptoms, many people will die.
"If you look at the United States of America with our obesity epidemic, with the number of people with hypertension, with the number of people with diabetes - if everyone has been infected, the number of deaths would be Huge and totally unacceptable, "he added." And that's why we are against saying: "Leave it fly, let everyone be infected, and everything will be fine." It's a bad idea. "
Expect a vaccine this year
When McConaughey asked a six-month issue of a viable coronavirus vaccine, Fauci said it would be earlier. "Probably the end of this current year, the beginning of 2021, a moderate number of these will be available," said Fuci. "As we arrive in 2021, we should have enough for everyone."

The government is fucked
Fauci said the government "absolutely" errors in its initial response to the pandemic. "Anyone who said they had perfectly faced the reality," he added. "There were some façade misss early with the test question, which we finally corrected. There were things we really worried. There were things we have deployed appropriately."
He hopes that sport can go in this season
Fuci described how sports teams that have decided to play this fall can minimize the impact of COVID on players. "What they will probably do is test everyone to make sure you start from a uniform playground, then they will do it intermittently," said Fuci. "It's probably the best they can do if they are lucky, what I hope they are, because I would like to see the sports that people enjoy. Especially in this period of stress."
Vigilant tests and rapid action are the key, he said. "They will almost certainly have a situation where someone will be infected. The way they deal with, how fast they identify it quickly, to the speed with which they receive the person from the pack and deal with them. They will determine if they can spend the season, "said Fauci.
It is not in favor of a national closure
Some medical experts suggested that the United States fall into a hard lock for three months to eliminate the virus. Fauci is not in their camp. "If you turn off - even if it was not an economic problem, what is happening is that psychologically, it could be devastating," he said. "Children may not get their vaccinations. People are not going in hospitals when they have chest pain. People do not follow because they have an elevated PSA or a mammogram that shows something. There are many different things that could go bad beyond the economy. "
He added: "There are projections that if you stay closed, the number of unrelated deaths to COVID will increase to the number of suicides, overdoses, family problems such as child abuse and things like that. They all go up. "
Choose between bars or schools
Fuci reiterated his advice to stay away from the crowds and avoid going to bars. "The bars are the hotspots-do not hang out in bars. We know that when the bars are closed, the infection [tariff] decreases. When people let him tear off and go to bars, it goes up."
He added, "I'm saying often - and I do not want to be provocative about it - you know, take your choice. You want to open the bars or do you want to open the schools? If you open the bars, you are going to have a Community propagation that would make it more difficult to open schools. "
The only thing everyone has to do
Fauci talked about his high level concern now. "We have to pull together uniformly," he said. "Because when you have the dynamics of an epidemic, if you have a weak link in the chain, you do not win the game. It simply does not work. We have to shoot together as a nation.
"Our country has gone through very difficult situations," added Fuci. "We crossed the depression, we crossed the world war. I'm old enough to have been a baby during the Second World War. But I remember the way the country absolutely shot. We gathered after the 11th September. It's equivalent to that. "
