During an interview on May 2 withForeign police, High Councilor Covid of the White HouseAnthony Fauci, MD, broke down where we areRight now in the pandemic And what we could expect in the future. According to the expert virus, who is also director of the National Institute of Allergic and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), the United States is currently transmitted from a full-fledged coronavirus pandemic.

"We are still in the middle of a pandemic, of course - there is no confusion on this subject. But when I say that we are out of the acute fulminant scene at the moment, what I mean, c 'is that cases have decreased spectacularly, "Faaci explained toRavi Angowal ofForeign police, noting that infections increased from 900,000 to around 15,000 per day. "Our number of deaths per day is reduced to a tenth of what they were, [and] we have much fewer hospitalizations," added Fauci.

Of course, infections move in the wrong direction, as indicated by the latest CDC data. But even with growing cases, Fauci noted that "they do not arrive in a very steep and fulminant way and that they are not associated with a concomitant increase in hospitalizations or the use of bed care beds intensive ".

A similar trend has recently been observed in the United Kingdom and other European countries, where the spread of the BA.2 variant caused an increase in cases without significant peak in hospitalizations. According to Fauci, there is a major factor that maintains this recent increase in infections away from a full -fledged wave: immunity.

"This does not specifically protect us from infection, but it seems to protect us from this increase in hospitalizations that highlighted the health care system during the previous eras of this pandemic."

"It is likely that we will see aIncrease in the fall, "Fauci previously said in an interview on April 6 with Bloomberg TV." I think we should expect that we can see a certain increase in cases as you arrive in the colder time in the fall. ""

When you speak withForeign police, Fauci said that he hoped "we do not see a major increase [in cases] as we enter into the fall", adding that there is a way to potentially avoid this scenario: vaccination. "We are going to have to wait and see, that's why we always encourage people to be vaccinated," he said.

However, that is not all on non -vacinated. For those who have already received two shots, Fauci warned that it was probably time to get a third dose. According to the CDC, aThe mRNA booster is recommended For anyone 12 and over who is at least five months of their second blow (or at least two months of their first dose if they received the vaccine with a blow Johnson & Johnson). Of all those eligible for a boost,About 50% have not yet obtained an additional dose, according to the CDC.
