Covid cases have been on the rise for weeks in the US, and experts are urging the public to take the summer wave seriously.
Dr Anthony Fauci, former lead of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease, recently said in an interview with CNN that he’s worried about Americans’ attitude toward rising case counts. “I am concerned that people will not abide by recommendations—and we’re not talking about mandates or forcing anybody—but when you have a situation where the volume of cases in society gets to a reasonably high level…those who are elderly and those with underlying conditions are going to be more susceptible and vulnerable, if they get infected, to get severe disease leading to hospitalisation,” he said.
