Fauci just said that this puts you to the "higher risk" for the virus
Scientists - including him - learn about it again, he says.
Since the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic, the experts said that the virus is mainly transmitted a person-to-person, by contact with large respiratory droplets produced by coughing or sneezing. But there is a possibility of extra concern of transmission, said Dr. Anthony Fauci, the best infectious infectious expert of the nation, Monday, and he always learned about it.

On the threat of aerosolization
It is possible that smaller and clearer droplets of coronavirus can float in the air instead of falling on the ground as quickly as scientists, allowing people to inhale them and become infected - a process called aerosolization.
"I think there is certainly a degree of aerosolization," said Fauci during an interview of the American Medical Association. "But I'll take a step back and make sure we learn the facts before starting to talk about it."
Fauci said he had conferred with physicists of the particles that advised it "we have a little distortion in our understanding of what can actually stay in the air longer" and that the aerosolization of the coronavirus could be more possible than the thought previously.
This one thing is "much clearer"
Fauci said that it has become "much clearer now" than "if you have a degree of aerosolization and that you are in an indoor space where the air is being circulated, it makes sense to assume that it is logical is a much higher risk than if you are outside. "
The thing that scientists need to focus on
"We have to pay a little more attention now to the recirculation of the air inside, which tells you that the mask wearing inside when you are in a situation like this is something as important as To wear masks when you are outside. With individuals that you do not know where they came from or who are, they are, "said Fuci.
Potential treatment seems good, but plasma is still so
Fauci has spoken positively about steroidoid dexamethasone, which "has been shown very clearly in a randomized trial by placebo [to be good] for people of advanced disease on fans, people suffering from oxygen - but not Good for people of early illness. It significantly decreases the mortality rate of people at the hospital requiring oxygen, which we really need. "
Fauci said it was important to develop therapies for early illness to prevent newly infected people from requiring hospitalization and a number of trials were under way. One was on monoclonal antibodies and another was a convalescent plasma, in which the blood plasma of people who already had a coronavirus is transfused into current patients to strengthen their immune response.
"There is a lot of activity to try to determine if the convalescence plasma does not work or does not work," said Fuci. "It's always a bit of an open question. We must tie that with the appropriate clinical trial."
Nobody knows what will happen this autumn
"I do not know either, no one can know what the fall will bring," said Fuci. "You look at our numbers now ... We are just in the middle of the first wave here."
In recent weeks, the United States has reported more than 60,000 coronavirus cases per day. During the past week, about 1,000 deaths per day had about 1,000 deaths a day.
"We have to have these numbers. If we do not put them down, we will have a very bad situation in autumn," said Fuci.
