Andrew Cuomo warned on Wednesday.
Infectious disease and public health experts, including White House coronavirus advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci,could complicate the nation's response to the pandemic as it approaches the fall and winter seasons. "I heard Covid fatigue to mean: I'm tired of wearing the mask, I'm tired of doing the social distancing. I'm just tired, and I don't want to do it anymore," Cuomo said. "To that I said, 'You don't have the luxury of fatigue because the virus isn't fatigued, and until the battle is over you can't take a nap.'"
