In an interview with"World News Tonight" anchor David Muir, Dr. Anthony Fauci called images of crowded school hallways “disturbing,” and said the virus won’t go away spontaneously.that if mask and social distancing guidelines aren’t followed, the U.S. could be dealing with dual outbreaks of the flu and COVID-19 come fall and winter.
Dr. Robert Redfield, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said in July that the convergence could create “one of the most difficult times that we've experienced in American public"I totally agree," said Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases , who has advised six U.S. presidents. He noted that if masks and social distancing is not enforced “in a uniform way” Redfield’s prediction may become a reality.
“I want to impress upon the American people in a way that's so clear: There are things that we can do that would get the level down,” he said. “If we go into the fall and the winter, David, with the same situation… we will have upticks of percent positive, and then you have the inevitable surging of infection.”Fauci previously named a goal of less than 10,000 cases a day by the fall. The U.S. is still seeing 50,000 to 70,000 cases a day, according to the World Health Organization.
