CDC’s Walensky Says Her Feeling of ‘Doom’ Has Subsided: The Curve Is ‘Stabilizing’

EXCERPT:

WALENSKY: “You know, what I get back to is the basic concepts because if we define a small and medium sized gathering we actually also have to define the size of the space that it's in, ventilation that is occurring, the space between people. And so, I think we should get back to the general concepts, small and medium sized gatherings for people who are outside and vaccinated can safely be done without a mask. But we really do want people who are unvaccinated to limit the interaction with people and to go back to the basic principles of increased ventilation increased spacing for any given size. You know, several weeks ago when I had this feeling of impending doom and I articulated that  and I had, you know, case rates going up, vaccinations growing but not where we needed to be and -- and death continuing to climb. As I look at the curve now it's stabilizing, it's coming down, the vaccinations have continued to in an extraordinary way.”
