The country is “still in pandemic mode” until daily infections drop to under 10,000 per day, warned the infectious disease expert.
The U.S. is “still in pandemic mode” with new COVID-19 infections some 16 times higher than what’s needed to end the public health crisis, according to Dr. Anthony Fauci. In an interview with Axios published Thursday, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases said “the endgame is to suppress the virus.” But 160,000 new cases of the coronavirus per day is “not even modestly good control,” he declared. “In a country of our size, you can’t be hanging around and having 100,000 infections a day,” Fauci explained. “You’ve got to get well below 10,000 before you start feeling comfortable.”More Related News
