Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said that he thinks there will be an uptick in cases of Covid-19 over the next few weeks, and that it is likely that there could be a surge in the fall.
"I think we should expect, David, that over the next couple of weeks, we are going to see an uptick in cases -- and hopefully there is enough background immunity so that we don't wind up with a lot of hospitalizations," Fauci said, when asked by Bloomberg TV's David Westin about the prospect of another wave of Covid-19 from BA.2 or another variant, given the level of immunity believed to exist in the US today.
He noted that"these are unchartered waters for us with this virus," and that with other viruses, such as flu -- which people have decades of experience with -- that predications about what might happen can be made with some degree of accuracy."I would think that we should expect that we are going to see some increase in cases as you get to the colder weather in the fall," he said.
