Dr. Fauci has just revealed when you can get your vaccine
The expert from infectious diseases believes that we can all obtain protection against Covid-19.
With nearly 60,000 cases a day, America notes an alarming increase in cases of coronaviruses; The country has just hit another daily record, it is sixth in ten days. In response, Dr. Anthony Fauci, the best expert in infectious diseases in the country and a member of the Coronavirus Working Group of the White House, spoke with Anna Rothschild, on the FivethirtyightPodcast-19, About when things could finally go back to normal - and when you can get your vaccine.
Will we ever have the virus under control?
"I think we can get it under control. But keep it under control is going to be the real problem. Because this virus is not like other viruses we have lived, as the original SARS of 2002. C ' was a coronavirus. Caused an epidemic, a pandemic - There were 8,000 cases and 800 deaths. So, alone in the magnitude alone, you see how different it is from what we do now. But it was not Very good and efficiently transmissible, while this virus, at our consternation is spectacularly effective in transmitting the person to the person. So that makes me skeptical if we would have a permanent and sustained control of that without having a vaccine. "
Will things never go back to "normal"?
"You know, I think we can do that, but there is always, as long as there is a dynamic of an active epidemic, it will be very difficult to come back to a real normal. If you superimpose a Very good public health measures and superimpose the vaccine on this subject, even if the vaccine is not protected by one hundred percent, let's say it is 70, 75% protection. If you can do it, combined with public health measures, I think we can be close enough to some form of normality, right? "
Should schools reopen?
"I would like to set out a principle for people to understand it, that we will obviously be influenced by the dynamics of an epidemic in a given region, but in general, we should do our best with an ample consideration for student safety and their parents. We should try if we could possibly keep the schools open. And the reason is that reason is secondary consequences of closing schools leading to unexpected consequences of a training effect on what Parents about the work of returning to work and what you do on day care centers and what you are doing on lunches for children who rely on school to get at least a good meal a day . That does not mean if you have a big epidemic that you keep the schools open, you may need to reconsider it. "
When will a vaccine come from?
"Well, I'm going to give a warning and then I will give you my opinion. The warning is that every time you are dealing with a vaccine, there is never a guarantee only if or when you are going to have Safe and efficient security. Vaccine because there are so many bumps in the road and the chicken nests when you try to develop a vaccine. But it said that, looking at the preliminary information we have in animal models, as well as the original phase a study of the original phase that the safety and the beginning of the ability to induce a good answer, I must say that I am cautiously optimistic than with a number of candidates pursuing and will be relatively soon in a phase test three to determine efficiency. I think we have a good chance that we finish this calendar year and that we enter 2021, we will have a safe and efficient vaccine, or more than one will distribute. "
When can I get a vaccine?
"I imagine that as we arrive at the beginning of 2021, that there will be dozens of millions of doses to be distributed and probably that we enter the first half of 2021, there will be hundreds of millions of doses."
How can I stay healthy?
"And as an individual, no matter where we happen in our country, physical distancing, six feet others, wear a mask, wash your hands, avoid crowds. These are the things that all the world should do. So good now, we are always in the middle of that. As you know, it has become well known. Now that people ask me, are you worried about the second wave? As I said to On several occasions, we are right, we are entitled to the middle of the first wave. So, before starting to worry about the second wave, let's take the devil of the first wave, which we really need to do. "
