Fauci: US will not return to lockdown – The situation will worsen

President Joe Biden, Chief Medical Advisor, Anthony Fauci, said today that it does not expect the US to return to loqdown, despite the increasing risks of infection from Covid-19, posed by the Delta variant.

“I do not think we will see a lockdown,” Fauci said in a statement on ABC’s This Week.

“I think we have a sufficient percentage of people in the country, not enough to crush the upheaval, but I believe enough that it will not allow us to find ourselves in the situation we were in last winter.”

Although Fauci does not believe the United States will need to shut down again, as it did last year, he warned ABC that “the situation will worsen” as the Delta variant continues to spread.

“We have 100 million people in this country who qualify for vaccination but who are not vaccinated,” he said.

The average number of new cases reported daily has almost doubled in the last 10 days, and the number of patients being treated is rising in many states, according to a Reuters analysis.
