Cases of coronaviruses and deaths increase across the nation, Dr. Anthony Fauci, Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, has spoken toTB ALLIANCEDuring his "pandemic fighter" webinar on how we can control the pandemic - and why the virus may never disappear. Read it to see why he thinks we will never emit it.

"I would say that I do not think it will finally be our worst killer, for so many people have asymptomatic infection, 20 to 45% of people. It is certainly a killer of those who are the elderly. And those who have the underlying conditions from time to time, you have an exception. We have a perfectly young and healthy person who has a very serious and died illness. It's a minority of that - but I do not see that by train to disappear the way Sars did. The reason I'm saying that is so effective in his ability to transmit man to man. I think we're going Finally get control of that. I do not really see myself eradicating it. I think with a combination of good public health measures, a degree of global flock immunity and a good vaccine, which I hope and I hope feel carefully optimistic that we are going to have - I think when you put the three of these three in seems, I think we will have a very good control of that, whether this year or next year, I'm not sure, but I finally think with a combination of good public health measures and a vaccine that We may not might not eradicate it, but I think we're going to wear it at a level as low as we will not be in a position we are right now for a prolonged period of time. . "

"I have never seen an infection in which you literally have a wide range of nothing, namely any symptoms at all in a substantial proportion of the population to some who fall ill with symptoms less, some who fall sufficiently sick of To be in bed for weeks and have post-viral syndromes and other hospitalizes, require oxygen, intensive care, ventilation and death. I mean, the spectrum of involvement with the same Pathogen is very unique. So, I mean, I do not really see this like a little bit of sudden morphing in a common cold where everyone takes right and no one becomes seriously ill. I just see simply not that happen. "

"Well, I think a few lessons, the first lesson, I think we all know, because I think we will all go long enough to see several unexpected epidemics. And it is that the epidemics of new diseases infectious occur. They have always occurred. They are currently happening. We are in the middle of one and they will always happen, no matter the quality we are. So, the lessons you learn is that you have to Preparing the fundamental, fundamental and clinical research, as well as the efforts of public health. Know that you should anticipate that you will be confronted with new infectious diseases as we continue. There is no doubt about this subject. The story proved this time. And again, with regard to the development of drugs, I think one of the things we have learned at least in the arena vaccinations is that even between epidemics, you can a Mall your ability to respond by developing better platform technologies. "

"It's impossible to say now [but] we know this infection with Corona viruses in general, and even a few early data with the sustainability of the answer, after the recovery of COVID-19 that the duration is not measured in the kind of things we see with measles, which is essentially a life. I would really be surprised. I do not know exactly how long it's going to be. Some early studies say several months to a year or more. I hope it's More than that, but if it is not 't, then we will obviously have to adapt to the situation with reminder fire. "

"This is such an important public health challenge that we are confronted with what I do. That's what I did all my life. That's what I've been formed for . That's what I have everything I experience, and it would be unimaginable for me, no matter what they throw me, you know, perhaps that security or anything. I do not escape you from That's too important. It's too important for the world for me to get away from that - not a chance. "
