The director of the US Institute of Allergies and Infectious Diseases, Dr. Anthony Fauci warned that the country “may not yet have experienced the worst” in the new type of corona virus (Covid-19) epidemic.
Fauci, one of the leading US physicians, said in a statement on CNN television: “My reason for concern is that there may be an increase in cases after Christmas and New Years. If you look at the trend in cases in late fall and early winter, the situation is truly disturbing.
Noting that the US is at a very critical point in fighting the epidemic, Dr. Fauci said Joe Biden, who was elected president of the United States, worries about the “darkest days.”
Warning that the United States “may not yet have experienced the worst” in the fight against the Covid-19 outbreak, Fauci said that “the next few weeks may be much worse.”
December was the month with the highest number of deaths in the United States since the beginning of the epidemic, and more than 63,000 people died from the virus.
Experts predict that January 2021 could be much worse.
More than 1 million people traveled by plane despite warnings not to travel during the Christmas season to control the epidemic in the United States.
Although more than 340 thousand people have died in the country due to Covid-19 so far, more than 19 million cases have been seen.
