Amid the rising concerns about a looming second wave of coronavirus, Dr. Anthony Fauci gave an optimistic perception of the upcoming outbreak, saying that it is not too late for America to avoid the worst.
“It’s in our hands. We can prevent a second wave if we respond to the inevitable infections we’ll see in the fall and winter,” Dr. Fauci said. “There’s no doubt that this virus is not going to disappear from the planet by the time we get to the fall and winter. But when those inevitably cases appear, it doesn’t mean we inevitably will have a second wave. We’ve got to be able to grab the bull by the horns and be prepared.”
Given that the virus is highly transmissible and difficult to control, new infections will still be recorded somewhere, and travels will worsen the situation, Fauci added.
