Biden's chief medical adviser also says the US is 'clearly going in the right direction' on the pandemic.
I think we’re clearly going in the right direction. The easiest way to prevent that is to continue to get people vaccinated. He has said he will consider retiring when the pandemic is done. “We’re still in this. And for those who have been vaccinated, to continue to get them boosted.” In the United States, it’s still somewhere around 30%.

We're still in this, we have a way to go, I think we're clearly going in the right direction. Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., who has publicly feuded with Fauci on multiple occasions, proposed an amendment that would eliminate the NIAID director position and divide his role into three new roles. Critics of Fauci noted how the most recognizable public health official has been noticeably absent from media interviews this past month. A Johns Hopkins University meta-analysis used several studies which found lockdowns had little to no impact in reducing fatalities from COVID-19 during the Spring of 2020. But right now at this point George, I don't see that," he said. But you always have to have the flexibility," he said.

Dr Anthony Fauci has rowed back on hints that he will soon retire, with 81 year-old saying he thinks the COVID pandemic is still far from over.
Dr. Anthony Fauci wants to wait for the US to be "really out" of the COVID-19 pandemic before he retires.
I hope we stay that way,” he continued. I think we got clearly going in the right direction. We’re still in this.

Here's what you need to know.The subvariant has a degree of transmission advantage over the original strain of omicron, a variant that quickly swept across the country in December and became the dominant strain in the United States during its peak.The top doctor said BA.2 is about 50-60% more transmissible, which means that it can take over as the dominant variant over time.The news comes while several states are reducing coronavirus safety restrictions. When ABC asked Fauci if the new strain would mean putting those restrictions back in place, Fauci said he doesn’t see the U.S. “going back into any more really, very restrict, kinds of restrictions.”He added that there is still flexibility to put back some measures if necessary if there is a significant surge that would result in increased hospitalizations.The country has to be prepared to put some of those restrictions back in place, Fauci said.

Y. — The nation’s top infectious disease specialist, Dr. Anthony Fauci, said on Sunday that the United States should prepare to see an uptick in coronavirus cases due to the latest BA.2 variant, but that a surge is unlikely.In an interview with ABC’s “This Week,” with George Stephanopoulos, Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, shared that there will be an “uptick in cases” due to the BA.2 variant — a new subvariant of the original omicron variant of COVID-19 — which is currently being seen in European countries, particularly in the United Kingdom.While the United States can expect an increase in coronavirus cases, Fauci predicts there won’t be a surge.“Hopefully, we won’t see a surge,” he told ABC. “I don’t think we will. BA.2 variant surge ‘unlikely’ in United States, says Fauci, but uptick in coronavirus cases expectedDr. Anthony Fauci said he doesn't predict a surge in coronavirus cases due to the new BA.2 variant. So, that’s really where we stand right now.”Fauci explained that the BA.2 variant has an increased transmission capability. The easiest way to prevent that is to continue to get people vaccinated.

A likely rise in US COVID-19 cases probably won't amount to a full-scale surge or prompt a renewal of widespread restrictions, chief medical adviser Anthony ...
I don’t think we will.” We have a way to go. I don’t think we will.” “The bottom line is we likely will see an uptick in cases, as we’ve seen in the European countries, particularly the U. K.,” Anthony Fauci, Biden’s chief medical adviser, said on ABC’s “This Week” on Sunday. “Hopefully we won’t see a surge. “The bottom line is we likely will see an uptick in cases, as we’ve seen in the European countries, particularly the U.

A likely rise in US COVID-19 cases probably won’t amount to a full-scale surge or prompt a renewal of widespread restrictions, one of President Joe Biden’s top advisers said.
The new strain is thought to be more transmissible than others, but does not cause more severe illness.
Fauci also said he doesn't believe there is reason to reverse the relaxation of those restrictions in response to BA.2 right now. His comments came after the U. S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said that BA.2 accounted for over 23 percent of new domestic cases for the week ending on March 12. "We can't completely let our guard down and must keep sequencing and monitoring the virus, but I do not think it warrants concern." "The bottom line is we likely will see an uptick as we've seen in the European countries, particularly in the U. K.," he added. "However, when you look at the cases they do not appear to be any more severe." It is a different variant than BA.1, which caused a significant rise in cases late last year.
Dr. Anthony Fauci said Sunday that the new BA.2 Omicron subvariant may trigger an "increase" in US cases as it becomes the dominant strain.
This is a modal window. This is a modal window. “That’s no time at all to declare victory, because this virus has fooled us before, and we really must be prepared for the possibility that we might get another variant, and we don’t want to be caught flat-footed on that.”
Chief White House medical adviser Anthony Fauci said on Sunday that he does not think the U.S..
But you always have to have the flexibility," Fauci said. I don't see us going back into any more really very restrict kinds of restrictions. "Hopefully, we won't see a surge.
Dr. Anthony Fauci warns about a spike in COVID-19 cases, thanks to the rise in cases of the Omicron BA.2 subvariant across the UK and Europe.
"If in fact we do see a turnaround and a resurgence, we have to be able to pivot and go back to any degree of mitigation that is commensurate with what the situation is. And we still have only 65% of the total population fully vaccinated." It has a transmission advantage over the original Omicron, which is called BA.1. And what they're seeing is an uptick in cases that are related both to the increased transmissibility of the virus, the waning of immunity, but also the fact that they're opening up the way we are here, and the way other countries in Europe and other parts of the world, and pulling back on mask mandates and things like that." "They're [the UK and Europe] seeing enough tipping in cases, I've spoken to them multiple times over the last week or so. "We generally follow what goes on in the UK by about two to three weeks. Dr. Anthony Fauci warns that a new spike in COVID-19 cases should be expected, thanks to the current rise in cases across the UK and Europe due to the Omicron BA.2 subvariant.
