President Joe Biden’s chief medical adviser, Anthony Fauci, said today that he did not expect the United States to return to Lockdown, despite the growing risk of infection from Covid-19 posed by the Delta variant.
Although Fauci does not believe the United States will need to shut down again, as he did last year, he warned that “the situation will worsen” as the Delta variant continues to spread.
“We have 100 million people in this country who qualify for vaccination but who are not vaccinated,” he said.
The average number of new cases reported daily has almost doubled in the last 10 days and the number of patients being treated is increasing in many states.
