“I don’t really see us eradicating it,” Dr. Fauci said, as COVID-19 continues to spread across the U.S.
White House coronavirus advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci said it is unlikely Covid-19 will ever be eradicated.
While the virus will not disappear, it's possible world leaders and public health officials could work to bring the virus down to "low levels," the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases said during an interview with the TB Alliance. "The virus will disappear. It will disappear," Trump said during a White House briefing on the pandemic.
"I have never seen infection in which you have such a broad range literally no symptoms at all in a substantial proportion of the population to some who get ill with minor symptoms to some who get ill enough to be in bed for weeks," he said. "Others get hospitalized, require oxygen, intensive care, ventilation and death. The involvement with the same pathogen is very unique."
On Tuesday, Trump said the pandemic in the United States will probably "get worse before it gets better."
