America's top infectious-disease expert warned that the country could face more COVID-19 lockdowns if cases go up once again due to the latest variant, even as the most cautious begin to shrug off their virus fears once-and-for-all.
Dr Anthony Fauci, head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease and adviser to President Joe Biden, said easing restrictions, the waning protection from vaccines and the rise of the BA.2 subvariant around the world could bring on another wave of rising infections to the U.S.
'If in fact we do see a turnaround and a resurgence, we have to be able to pivot and go back to any degree of mitigation that is commensurate with what the situation is,' Fauci said in a CNN interview on Thursday.
'We can't just say, 'We're done. We're going to move on.' We've got to be able to be flexible because we're dealing with a dynamic situation.'
Fauci added that the variant, which has seen a spike in the UK, could cause a surge in the U.S. as it appears to be as infectious as Omicron, but less fatal.
'The overall mortality is actually down,' Fauci said. 'It’s a very interesting situation where the cases are going up, but it does not, at this point in time, appear to be any degree of severity.'
'We generally follow what goes on the UK by about two to three weeks,' he added. 'I would not be surprised in the next few weeks, given the fact that we’ve begun to open up, and we have an increase in the BA.2 variant, that we’ll be seeing an increase in cases.'
The warning came as COVID restrictions have been lifted all across the country amid a sharp drop in daily cases after the Omicron surge earlier this year.

Nope.
Actually we CAN say we’re done Fauxci.
WE’RE DONE.
Laying the groundwork for the selection.
Here comes another lame excuse for massive mail-in voter fraud.
Aw crap...I thought he was gone...
He can’t bear to see his power and influence slipping away.
Boo hoo.
That would place the lockdown threshold right at Western Christian Holy Week.
Prolonging the Plannedemic Puritanism appears to be the goal.
If a third Thanksgiving, a third Christmas, a third Easter, and a third Independence Day, can be squelched through fearmongering (if not outright government oppression) it may not be much longer before people will not only not wish to return to pre-Plannedemic celebrations—being deathly afraid of what “might” happen-- but will actually begin to lose the memory of what such celebrations were like.
This is the CCP’s global “Cultural Revolution”.
Let me guess the timing of the lockdowns.
About 2 months before General Elections in NOV.
Enough time to mail out tens of millions of ballots
And set up drop boxes.
2020 redo.
Top infectious disease expert? Top fear-mongerng charlatan more like.
Hahaha! This joker
Send that phucker to Ukraine with Romney to fight the Russians. Both are worse than useless.
Over Covid 900 dead in the US today. Of. Not with.
Lockdowns do not stop that. Vax does not stop that. Recovered immunity does not stop that. Masks do not stop that.
The virus has defeated all of those measures.
The next surge — to date — has never been over a year away. So what measures can stop it? Anyone?
Only one measure has so far. Evacuation.
Fraudchi is such a con artist.
China is already implementing phase one. Just like the last time.
He hopes.
That jackass never has anything to say that isn’t dark and gloomy.
He gets off to it. He really, really needs to go away. He’s loathsome.
In no way am I listening to this creep. No more masks, no more staying home, no more lies, fauxi.
