Top infectious diseases expert Anthony Fauci said that he “strongly suspects” COVID-19 deaths will go down in the winter.
During an interview with Greta Van Susteren to be aired on Sunday, Fauci was asked if he expected another surge of coronavirus cases due to the delta variant or other variants such as mu this winter.
He responded that it would depend on how well the United States is able to vaccinate the millions of Americans who have not yet gotten a coronavirus shot.
“Fortunately, right now, over the last few weeks, we've seen a turnaround in the slope in going down in both cases and hospitalizations. Deaths are still up, but it's really flattening, so it's a lagging indicator,” Fauci told Van Susteren.
“I strongly suspect that you're going to start seeing the deaths go down similar to the hospitalizations; how quickly they go down and how thoroughly they go down is going to depend a lot on a number of circumstances, which will be influenced by things like the colder weather, people doing things indoors, how well they go by the CDC [Centers for Disease Control and Prevention] guidelines of, when you have a lot of infection in the community, even though you're vaccinated, when you are not home but outside congregate settings in the public, wearing masks, I think would be very prudent,” he added.
Experts are divided about whether this most recent COVID-19 surge of cases will be the last one.
Data from the CDC indicates that nationwide COVID-19 cases are generally starting to trend downward, but only about 56 percent of the country’s total population has been fully vaccinated. Colder weather, with more people being situated inside, could make it difficult to predict how well COVID-19 cases get tamped down later in the fall and upcoming winter given that that environment has allowed the virus to spread previously.
Leana Wen, public health professor at George Washington University and an emergency physician, told The Hill that some states are still grappling with the latest delta wave.
“I'm very concerned about people becoming complacent because they think that the delta wave is passing us,” Wen said. “We have seen this happen before, where there is a rise in the number of cases, then a decline, and then people let down their guard. And as a result, we plateau at a very high level of cases. That's unacceptable.”
Bureaucrats are not scientists.
Look everybody, I’m a genocidal mass murderer.
How do the clot shot recipients ‘let down their guard’?
“Top infectious diseases expert”
They lie from the get go.
As Jane Fonda said, Covid is God’s gift to the left.
Well….. duh! So Fauci, in his brilliance, can see where a trend line is going. My grandma could see this.
Yeah. I don’t see how being inside in cold weather is better than the sunshine that kills the virus.
Fauci is wrong about everything.
That’s this week’s forecast from Falsie Fauci.
He eagerly awaits his next week’s forecast as issued from CNN.
Fauzi knows the jig us up on the wuhan flu.
“Two weeks to flatten the curve”.
I don’t think “strongly suspects” is a scientific term.
This POS knows his days are numbered.
I dont think he will be trotted out to much longer.
His handlers know he has zero credibility.
Hope his PTSD about AIDS takes a turn for the better, ours,
Him Him F Him !
Shut up!
Fauci says he ‘strongly suspects’ that COVID-19 deaths will go down in the winter
“Really?”
Cuz respiratory infections typically go down in winter months?
FU lil evil garden gnome...
“He responded that it would depend on how well the United States is able to vaccinate the millions of Americans who have not yet gotten a coronavirus shot.”
Notice, the vile little reptile never ever says a word about early treatment, or late treatment, or any other kind of treatment. It is always the vaccination.
that is so wrong on so many levels...
may the turds of a million looney leftists overflow from your toilets tonight while you’re sleeping...
