Fauci: US ‘likely’ to see fall COVID-19 surge

President Biden’s chief medical adviser Anthony Fauci predicted Wednesday that there will likely be a rise in COVID-19 cases in the coming weeks as well as a potential surge in the fall.

“I think we should expect, David, that over the next couple of weeks, we are going to see an uptick in cases – and hopefully there is enough background immunity so that we don’t wind up with a lot of hospitalizations,” Fauci told Bloomberg TV’s David Westin.

Fauci, who serves as director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said that the increase in infections could come as a result of waning immunity and the loosening of COVID-19 restrictions across the U.S.

“Those conditions are also present in the United States,” he said. “So, I would not be surprised if we see an uptick in cases. Whether that uptick becomes a surge where there are a lot more cases is difficult to predict.”

When Fauci was asked whether the U.S. will be faced with a similar COVID-19 surge in the fall as the country has experienced for the past two years, he said the prospect is “likely,” noting that “these are uncharted waters for us with this virus.”

“I would think that we should expect that we are going to see some increase in cases as you get to the colder weather in the fall,” he said. “That’s the reason why the [Food and Drug Administration] and their advisory committee are meeting right now to plan a strategy, and we at the [National Institutes of Health] are doing studies now to determine what the best boost would be.”

I told the Republican cheerleaders this would happen, but most dismissed 11/3/20 as “shenanigans”

Americans need to tell them to pound sand, we're not doing that anymore.

We're not closing our businesses, not wearing masks, and leave our kids alone dammit.

Except for the small % of Americans who have become addicted to fear - wearing their masks alone in the car, etc. - that's just pathetic.

Airborne respiratory virus infections in general increase during the fall and winter because more people spend more time together indoors.

So it’s a safe bet that Covid will increase as well.

“Airborne respiratory virus infections in general increase during the fall and winter because more people spend more time together indoors.
So it’s a safe bet that Covid will increase as well.”

In Florida and other southern states, Nevada, Arizona they decrease. People are outdoors more. During summer months they shelter indoors under air conditioning.

Fauci said “uptick” but the headline changes it to “surge.” Of course. I could have said that with equal credibility. The numbers go down beginning in May and go up again around the first of October. Happens every year.

I thought that a couple of weeks ago the fool was pushing a “new spring spike” with the latest variant.

Will someone get the hook and pull this decrepit, flatulent troll off the stage?

Thank you, Pepe...

The poor little man has to do something. His 15 minutes are over and now he’s being rightfully ignored.

Just in time for the midterms, surprise!

The Democrats will never give up on mail in voting...

As long as Republican-controlled state legislatures have enough RINO traitors to go along with it, then we'll see cheat-by-mail-in ballots again.

This is why the Left fears the upcoming GOP primaries much more than the Mid-Terms. They know the grass root republican voter is still seething over the 2020 Steal, and there's gonna be some major payback in the primaries. No more RINOs means no more stolen elections. The Dems can't steal anything if cheat-by-mail-in ballots and drop-boxes are not allowed. RINOs are also preventing a nationwide Dominion audit.

RINOs are filthy traitors of the worst order. Vote as many of them out as possible this summer in the primaries, and we just might have a chance of getting our country back in 2024.

We have to wonder if he is saying this because he can make it happen or because he's speaking from his ‘expert’ knowledge.

‘Expert’ knowledge in HIS case is, of course, a joke. That means he's sure about the ‘surge’ in the same way Pelosi was certain Trump would lose the election, because the stage was rigged!!
