Fauci ‘Convinced’ the US Will Still Be Battling Coronavirus in the Fall

Dr. Anthony Fauci is not confident the battle with the coronavirus will be won in the near future.

President Donald Trump appears optimistic the coronavirus will not come back after the first wave.

“It goes out and it’s going to go out fast. We’re going to be watching for it. But it’s all possible,” Trump said. “But it’s also possible it doesn’t come back at all.”

Fauci’s remarks, however, did not align with Trump’s.

“We will have coronavirus in the fall, I am convinced of that,” Fauci said, adding, “Whether or not it’s going to be big or small is going to depend on our response.”

Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Robert Redfield originally warned Americans the second wave of the coronavirus could be more difficult than the first, as IJR previously reported.

“There’s a possibility that the assault of the virus on our nation next winter will actually be even more difficult than the one we just went through,” Redfield said.

He explained the the coronavirus combined with influenza could be taxing on the health care industry.

Redfield clarified his remarks during the coronavirus task force briefing, as IJR reported.
