Dr. Fauci: 'Things are going to get worse' — here's what that could look like. (via CNBCMakeIt)
Dr. Anthony Fauci has a sobering prediction: "Things are going to get worse."
The White House chief medical advisor made those remarks amid rising Covid cases nationwide, due largely to the virus's newly dominant and more transmissible delta variant, during an interview with ABC's "" on Sunday. Though it's tough to imagine a situation more dire than the country's current surge, "we're looking to some pain and suffering in the future because we're seeing the cases go up," Fauci said.
Delta has run rampant through the U.S. in recent weeks, surpassing last summer's peak of new daily cases and hitting the country's relatively large population of unvaccinated people — 50% as of Thursday afternoon — particularly hard. Experts suggest the U.S. needs a 90% vaccination rate toon Wednesday, the virus will keep spreading through the fall and winter — giving it "ample chance" to develop another, worse variant.
So, just how bad is "worse"? Here's what could transpire in the coming months, and what can be done to stop it:and create more dangerous variants. And while the Covid vaccines in use appear to work well against current variants, "there could be a variant that's lingering out there that can push aside delta," Fauci told McClatchy.

Fauci: If community spread doesn't get under control, US 'may sooner or later get another variant'If the U.S. does not get control over the community spread of the delta COVID variant, the nation will continue to see more variants that evade the protection of the vaccines, according to Dr. Anthony Fauci, the chief medical adviser to the White House. 'That will happen, George, if we don't get good control over the community spread which is the reason why I and my colleagues keep saying and over again, it is very important to get as many people vaccinated as we possibly can,' Fauci told anchor 'GMA' George Stephanopoulos Thursday. 'People who say, 'I don't want to get vaccinated because it's me and I'll worry about me, I'm not having any impact on anybody else,' that's just not the case,' Fauci said.
