As coronavirus outbreaks continue worsen across the country, and with the United States outperforming 4 million cases on Thursday Anthony Fauci, the country’s leading infectious disease expert, is doubling the need for young Americans to participate in preventive public health practices.
With younger americans, around the age range of 18 to 40 years, with more and more confirmed new cases of coronavirus, Fauci says wearing face masks while in public is a must, even if someone is in good health.
“You don’t realize, probably innocently, that you are inadvertently spreading the outbreak,” Fauci explained in a interview with MarketWatch Friday. “It is becoming part of the problem because, even if you do get infected without any symptoms, you are likely to infect someone else.”

This not only spreads the spread of COVID-19, but can lead to a vulnerable demographic suffering from serious infection.
“Sooner or later, a vulnerable person becomes infected and becomes seriously ill. You must realize that it is your duty and your civic responsibility: you could be hurting someone else, ”he added.
Threading the needle between public safety and economic sustainability, many industries, such as retail, restaurants, and air travel, are trying to reopen with established security measures. Reduced seating in public spaces, curb pickup, and temperature controls are just a few measures to try to mitigate the spread of the virus while it gradually opens.
When asked if he would consider eating out or flying, Fauci’s answer was a resounding no.
“The answer is ‘No’ for the following reason: I am in a risk category. I don’t like to admit it, but I’m 79 years old, “he explained, adding that” I’m not going to restaurants right now. “

Before we can go back to a pre-pandemic life, if we can Fauci says the country needs consistent public health procedures based on a unified message, something the United States could not be implemented.
“There really is an inconsistency in usage and an inconsistency in the message,” Fauci said, noting that wearing masks, physical distancing, avoiding crowds, washing hands, and closing spaces like bars are critical to regaining control of the outbreak.
“I beg people to consider doing this consistently because … if half the people don’t, it somehow negates the overall purpose,” he said.
Fauci argues that the timeline for a vaccine it’s probably early 2021Noting that despite the absence of specific treatment and increased testing delays, the school in the United States will resume on a case-by-case basis, depending on how each individual region is handling the virus.
He says there is no uniform solution as to whether schools and workplaces should reopen or not.
“So if you open a school safely in a region where there is not a lot of infection, you probably don’t even have to make any changes,” he explains. “If you are in a place where there is considerable infection activity, there are many options to mitigate the risk that you can do a hybrid model of part online, part in person. You could physically separate children at school, alternate days, or morning / afternoon classes. It will vary based on risk. “
This recommendation comes as states weigh the risks of reopening schools, from elementary to college, for the rapidly approaching school year. Teacher unions have been at the forefront of this debate, with approximately trimester of teachers at risk of severe coronavirus infection.
“How state and local officials balance the desire to reopen schools and other facilities with the need to ensure the safety of students, parents, and school personnel will have significant economic and health consequences for individuals and communities in those who live “, researchers from the Kaiser Family Foundation say. “Ensuring the safety of teachers and others at increased risk for serious coronavirus disease is a crucial part of the reopening calculation.”
