The worst is yet to come. This is the warning no one wants to hear, but it is what Michael Osterholm, a renowned infectious disease specialist, argues.

The next few weeks will be “the darkest of the pandemic,” he says on the NBC television show. For this expert, in the American case it will be one of the most dramatic given the administration of Donald Trump in recent months that has led many Americans to find it difficult to distinguish what is and what is not true and what advice to follow.

“People don’t know what to believe, and that’s one of our biggest challenges in the future, getting a message out to the public that reflects science and reality,” Osterholm explained.

As for group immunity, the specialist guarantees that it is only viable when citizens undergo a vaccination program and it will take a long time to be available.

This Friday, there were 70,000 new coronavirus cases in the US, the highest number since July. Osterholm believes that record will be broken again.
