Dr. Fauci on Current Covid Surge: ‘We Might See a Surge Super-Imposed’

EXCERPT:

FAUCI: "Well, if you look at the slope of that curve that led to the numbers that you just mentioned, Chuck, we’re going to be seeing, as we go towards the end now and getting into December, we’re seeing the surge with an inflection curve like this. The concern we had as we entered into the Thanksgiving holiday and as we’re now coming out of the Thanksgiving holiday is that the travel and the people congregating at dinners that you’d expect we tried to get the word out for people, as difficult as it is, to really not have large gatherings of people, family and friends but try to keep it confined to the immediate household, but, you know, people are not always going to do that. So what we expect, unfortunately, as we go for the next couple of weeks into December, that we might see a surge superposed upon that surge that we’re already in. And you know, when I give that message, I don’t want to frighten people except to say it is not too late at all for us to do something about this because as we travel back to be careful, when we go back to where we are, to just continue to do the things that we’ve been talking about.”
