US chief infectious disease specialist warns of worsening situation with COVID-19

According to Anthony Fauci, due to the strain "delta" the situation will worsen, despite the large number of vaccinated against CORONAVIRUS

Due to the spread of the delta coronavirus strain, the situation with infections in the United States will worsen, but the country is unlikely to face a new lockdown, US chief infectious disease specialist Anthony Fauci said in an interview with ABC News.

“I don’t think we will see new lockdowns. I believe we have a sufficient proportion of the population of the country, not enough to beat the outbreak, but I believe enough to prevent us from falling into the situation we were in last winter. However, the situation will worsen,” Fauci said.

He noted that in the United States there are still 100 million people who can be vaccinated, but who do not. According to Fauci, the country is now experiencing the spread of coronavirus among unvaccinated citizens.

A recent study of the coronavirus outbreak in Provincetown, Massachusetts, showed that the country's dominant delta strain can also spread to fully vaccinated people, writes ABC. At the same time, infection after vaccination proceeds in the overwhelming majority of cases easily - without hospitalizations and death.
