Dr. Fauci says when we can finally stop wearing masks
Now that three vaccines are available and more Americans are being vaccinated every day, there is hope that the COVID-19 pandemic will end sooner or later and that life can return to normal. Many people are wondering when exactly people will be able to return to the cinemas, classes will resume as usual, social gatherings will be the norm and, of course, when we can throw our masks away. On Monday, Dr. Anthony Fauci, the chief medical advisor to the president and director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, appeared as a guest on the Tisch College Distinguished Speakers Series, revealing when he thinks we will finally be able to stop wearing masks. Read on to find out what he said – and to ensure your health and the health of others, don’t miss out on these Certain Signs that You Have Had Coronavirus. 1 Dr. Fauci said that we should be free of masks next summer Fauci was asked by the interviewer if we would still be wearing masks during the summer of 2022. “I don’t think so,” he replied. “I think at that time, as long as there is no peak in variance and we have most people vaccinated.” He stressed that once most of the country is vaccinated and collective immunity is achieved, the masks will not be as essential. “When you vaccinate the vast majority of the population, the level of viruses in the community is so low that the risk of infection will be minuscule,” he explained, adding that he is confident that we will be there in the summer of 2022 – and possibly sooner. Read on to see what he said about schools going back to school. 2 Dr. Fauci said that children should be able to return to school soon If everyone does their part, children will be able to return to school safely in the near future, says Dr. Fauci. “If we continue to lower the level of the virus now in March and April, it would be much safer and more comfortable for teachers and students to return to classes next semester,” he revealed. 3 Dr. Fauci said that inequalities must be addressed When asked “What do we need to do to correct this inequality?” – given that the black and brown populations were hit hardest by the virus – Dr. Fauci said: “Heritage is now the main goal of the Biden government. He made it very, very clear that in everything we do with COVID-19 in therapy and vaccines, equity has to be our main focus. We clearly perceive that browns and blacks suffered disproportionately from being infected and obtaining serious results. In addition, when you look at the numbers, they are being vaccinated less ”due to“ vaccine hesitation, but ”also“ vaccine accessibility, not hesitation. So put hesitation aside and say, what can we do about accessibility? ”He said that the government is“ developing and building community vaccine centers, up to 450, 500, several of which are already in neighborhoods that demographically have weight for browns and blacks ”. 4 Dr. Fauci said that this virus is constantly changing and therefore information about it changes “One of the things that has really been a challenge for us is that this is not a static situation,” said Dr. Fauci. “It is really a dynamic situation where you change the amount of information as it evolves. So, what we knew on January 10, when the virus went to the public database and on January 21, when we had the first case in the United States, and then in February, when we saw that the community was spreading and then in March and In April, when we found out that it had spread to people who were not infected, the public health messages changed according to the data we had. So, as a public health communicator, what you need to be sure to do is speak on the basis of the data you know, and be humble and modest enough to change that when the data tells you that a recommendation or guideline needs to change. ”RELATED: If you feel it, you may already have it, COVID says Dr. Fauci 5 How to stay safe during this pandemic Follow Fauci’s fundamentals and help end this pandemic, no matter where you live – wear a comfortable face mask and with two layers, do not move, distance yourself socially, avoid large crowds, do not enter home with people you are not sheltering (especially in bars), practice good hand hygiene, be vaccinated when it is available for you and for protect your life and the lives of others, do not visit any of the 35 places you are most likely to catch COVID.
