- White House health advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci has just offered a new and very dire warning about the state of the coronavirus pandemic in the United States at the moment.
- As bad as things are, Dr. Fauci says that the increase in the number of victims in January means that perhaps we have not yet reached the worst point of the pandemic.
- However, Dr. Fauci adds that this scenario can be avoided if more people adhere to measures to protect against the coronavirus, such as social distance and the use of face masks.
The crazy headlines related to President Trump, including his second impeachment, have taken the urgent news from COVID from the main point of our news cycle in the past few days – but that in no way means that we have rounded a corner or are enjoying a much needed break from the pandemic. . In contrast, the latest coronavirus update for the US shows that, as of Thursday, more than 23 million cases of coronavirus have been reported here, in addition to more than 385,000 deaths from the virus. This is according to data from Johns Hopkins University. Besides that, CNBC’s The latest analysis of Johns Hopkins data shows that the U.S. is seeing at least 245,300 new cases of COVID per day, as well as 3,360 virus-related deaths every day, based on an average of seven days.
On Tuesday, in fact, the United States recorded more coronavirus-related deaths in a single day (4,320) than at any time during the next pandemic. That is why, the next day, White House health advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci said during a conversation with a TV station in New York that the worst point of the pandemic for the United States may not have arrived yet, so scary as that sounds.

“It is conceivable that it could get worse,” acknowledged Dr. Fauci, during an interview with PIX11’s Dan Mannarino. “We hope not.”
The way we avoid this terrible scenario – a scenario that Dr. Fauci said need not be a foregone conclusion – is by doing the things that public health experts like him have been advocating for months. “Adhere uniformly, not irregularly, but uniformly to the public health measures we speak of,” he said. “The use of uniform masks, avoiding congregational environments, people inside the house getting together, (e) keeping their distance.
“I mean, obviously they seem very simple, given the enormity of the problem, but we know it works. That when these public health measures are implemented consistently, you can gain control of the increase. It is very difficult to predict how much worse it will get. I hope we have seen the full impact of the increase. “
Along these lines, President-elect Joe Biden, in a speech on Thursday night, is expected to present an updated coronavirus response strategy that his government will implement quickly after Biden’s inauguration on Wednesday. Among other things, the plan should detail how an expansion of the national COVID vaccination effort will be financed.
