With 4.2 million infections and 148,000 deaths since the beginning of the pandemic, America is the global epicenter of Coronavirus. Dr. Anthony Fauci, who served as Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases since 1984, spoken with CNNWolf BlitzerOn how to "get our arms around that" to prevent "more suffering and further death." Read it to see how you can protect yourself - and how is the development of the vaccine.

"The fundamental things to avoid crowds, physical separation, the universal port of masks, closing bars, hand hygiene - these things that matter and they can make a difference. I hope we will appreciate this and do it very strictly. "

... in the coming months he said, "Well, that is conceivable. I mean, it's something we hope to avoid, but if you look at deaths as they currently happen, about one thousand a day, unless we get our arms around that, get it removed, we're going have even more suffering and other deaths and that's why as I often said a lot, many times there are things we can do right now in the absence of a vaccine that could turn us. "

"This is a three phase test, which is determined to determine whether the vaccine actually works. In addition to getting information further on security, the security data so far, it has It's good, but now it's a time of crisis. We try. To understand it works really? The test has been launched today. Registration time. And this is the phase three currently, what will take several months to determine if it works if it works even not to know what the virus was actually. In early January, a three phase test is really a record time. And I could add that it has not been compromised Security, nor to compromise scientific integrity. It's just the technologies we have now. And the ability to move quickly has brought us to where we are now a phase three test. "

"Well, there is never a guarantee when you do a clinical trial. If there was a guarantee, you would not have to do the trial. So that's one of the reasons you're trying to do that, of this type. And this magnitude is to permanently determine the vaccine works and therefore does not protect any warranties. However, I must say in the same breath, that if you look at the early data, in particular the data of the trial of Phase 1, and that you have looked at the type of answers that have been induced in these volunteers, there were Responses of robust antibodies. They were of a magnitude that you would see in the convalescent plasma people who were recovered from the infection. And it is one of the characteristics of the prediction of success. From a vaccine ... .so That's why it makes me with optimistic caution, even if we can not guarantee anything, but cautiously optimistic that we will have a vaccine that works. "

"We have to go out with people who trust the community level so that individuals understand that this is extremely important for his own health and especially for the health of the community and the health of the nation. Because if we get a widespread preparation of vaccine, we can end this pandemic and we can create a veil of immunity in this country that would prevent infection from returning. We have to convince these people, and you have to do it by extending to the community, not by A Washington saying, but by engaging the community at the community level. And I hope we can turn this reluctance to be vaccinated, right? "
