- Some health experts warn the United States may be on the cusp of another Covid-19 surge if Americans aren’t careful — just as the country vaccinate more people.
- There are two key things the US can do to prevent more infections, hospitalizations and deaths, Dr. Anthony Fauci told CNN.
- A, you keep pushing down and doubling down on public health measures.
- B, you do whatever you can to get as many people vaccinated as quickly and as expeditiously as possible, he said on Saturday.
A recent CNN news report states that there are two key things that can help curb another Covid-19 surge, according to Dr. Anthony Fauci. Christina Maxouris writes CNN on this important topic elaborately. Let us have a look at it.
Vaccine front
On the vaccine front, the US has been doing “extremely well,” Fauci said.
The country reported a new record over the weekend with more than 4 million Covid-19 vaccine doses administered in 24 hours, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
“A record reporting day!! +4.08M doses reported administered over the total yesterday,” Dr. Cyrus Shahpar, the Covid-19 data director at the White House, wrote on Twitter on Saturday.
“Also first time averaging more than 3M per day over the past week. Millions coming together to accelerate our progress toward controlling the pandemic!”
Not enough Americans vaccinated
Despite the record pace of vaccinations, there are not enough Americans vaccinated yet to control the spread of the virus, experts warn.
So far, about 31.4% of Americans have received at least one dose of a Covid-19 vaccine and only 18% of the population is fully vaccinated, CDC data shows.
No to easing down the restrictions
More than a dozen state leaders have announced eased restrictions in recent weeks, while several have done away with mask mandates.
“What we’re saying is double down, just hang in there a bit longer,” Fauci added, “and the vaccine, and the vaccinations of people in this country are going to override the surge of the virus. There’s no doubt the vaccine is going to win out.”
Educate people
People should be educated and let them know that this vaccine is safe and while it is under an emergency-use authorization.
It has gone through clinical trials with literally tens of thousands of individuals who have done that — it has been peer reviewed.
