Fauci warns latest COVID-19 wave is ‘going to get worse’
Dr. Anthony Fauci on Sunday warned that the country’s latest COVID-19 surge is “going to get worse” — but insisted he doesn’t expect the climbing case numbers to trigger any new lockdown orders.
The White House chief medical adviser acknowledged that the US has yet to turn the corner in the recent outbreak driven by the spread of the highly contagious delta variant.
“Things are going to get worse,” Fauci told ABC co-anchor Jonathan Karl on “This Week.”
But Fauci said he still doesn’t expect the nation to shut down again.
“I don’t think we’re gonna see lockdowns. I think we have enough of the percentage of people in the country — not enough to crush the outbreak — but I believe enough to not allow us to get into the situation we were in last winter,” Fauci said — referring to when municipalities across the country instituted strict rules involving mask-wearing and business and school shutdowns.- READ MORE
