Fauci says the nation could start getting back to relative normality by April or July Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s top infectious expert, told CNN he thinks the nation could start getting back to relative normality by April or July of 2021 saying he thought that would be possible to achieve by the second or third quarter next year. When Americans can gather again depends on a number of factors, Fauci told CNN giving the example of vaccines. Fauci pointed to the manufacturer Pfizer’s announcement that its early data shows its vaccine is more than 90% effective and a second company is expected to soon unveil its early results. Quote:“That’s great, but we have to get people to take the vaccine,” he said. “So, if we get the overwhelming majority of people taking the vaccine, and you have on the one hand an effective vaccine, on the other hand, a high degree of uptake of the vaccine, we could start getting things back to relative normal as we get into the second and third quarter of the year, where people can start thinking about doing things that were too dangerous just months ago."But all things have to be put together, he said, America “can’t just wish it happening.” Vaccines have to come, they have to be deployed and fundamental public health measures can’t be abandoned, Fauci said.

Moderna's coronavirus vaccine is 94.5% effective, according to company data"These are obviously very exciting results," said Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation's top infectious disease doctor. "It's just as good as it gets -- 94.5% is truly outstanding."
Moderna heard its results on a call Sunday afternoon with members of the Data Safety and Monitoring Board, an independent panel analyzing Moderna's clinical trial data. Pfizer's vaccine has to be kept at minus 75 degrees Celsius. No other vaccine in the US needs to be kept that cold, and doctors' offices and pharmacies do not have freezers that go that low.
Moderna's vaccine can be kept at minus 20 degrees Celsius. Other vaccines, such as the one against chickenpox, need to be kept at that temperature. Another advantage of Moderna's vaccine is that it can be kept for 30 days in the refrigerator, the company announced Monday. Pfizer's vaccine can last only five days in the refrigerator. https://www.cnn.com/2020/11/16/health/mo...index.html

The latest milestone comes just six days after the US recorded 10 million cases, per Johns Hopkins data. It was the fastest the US has added one million new cases since the pandemic began. At least 45 states have reported more new infections this past week compared to the previous week, according to Johns Hopkins University.

"It's not one or two hotspots, the entire country is a hotspot of coronavirus infection."Nationwide, 1,266 new deaths reported on Saturday alone. https://www.cnn.com/world/live-news/coro...56904901e1 |
