Dr. Anthony Fauci is now saying that the Coronavirus pandemic won’t be a pandemic for long.
Bloomberg:
Covid won’t be a pandemic for “a lot longer†thanks to rapid progress in vaccine development, according to Anthony Fauci, the top U.S. infectious disease official.
The coronavirus could nonetheless remain endemic for a long time, the director of the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases said at an event organized by Chatham House, a U.K. think tank.
Before the election, Fauci claimed the pandemic won’t be over until late 2021 even with a vaccine:
A few weeks ago, however, Fauci was pessimistic about the pandemic going away, even with a vaccine, as he said that he believed the United States would not return back to normal until 2022.
“If we get a vaccination campaign, and by the second or third quarter of 2021 we have vaccinated a substantial proportion of the people, I think it will be easily by the end of 2021 — and perhaps even into the next year — before we start having some semblances of normality,†said Fauci in an interview with Australia’s University of Melbourne.
Biden is still flirting with a 4-6 week shutdown period:
CNBC:
Shutting down businesses and paying people for lost wages for four to six weeks could help keep the coronavirus pandemic in check and get the economy on track until a vaccine is approved and distributed, said Dr. Michael Osterholm, a coronavirus advisor to President-elect Joe Biden.
Osterholm, who serves as director of the Center of Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota, said earlier this week that the country is headed toward “Covid hell.†Cases are rising as more people grow tired of wearing masks and social distancing, suffering from so-called “pandemic fatigue,†he said Wednesday. Colder weather is also driving people indoors, where the virus can spread more easily.
A nationwide lockdown would drive the number of new cases and hospitalizations down to manageable levels while the world awaits a vaccine, he told Yahoo Finance on Wednesday.
“We could pay for a package right now to cover all of the wages, lost wages for individual workers, for losses to small companies, to medium-sized companies or city, state, county governments. We could do all of that,†he said. “If we did that, then we could lock down for four to six weeks.â€
