After what he calls a phase where COVID-19 cases were explosive, the U.S. is transitioning to better control. Cases are at a lower point than they've been in months but contagious variants are still spreading.
Dr. Anthony Fauci said Wednesday the coronavirus is under better control in the United States. but the pandemic isn't over - and the challenge is how to keep improving the situation.
After a brutal winter surge,"we've now decelerated and transitioned into more of a controlled phase," he said."By no means does that mean the pandemic is over." Fauci's remarks reflect how health authorities are wrestling with the next stage of the pandemic - how to keep COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations manageable and learn to live with what's still a mutating and unpredictable virus.
COVID-19 cases are at a lower point than they've been in months and two-thirds of the U.S. population is vaccinated. Nearly half of those who need a booster dose have gotten the extra shot, and effective treatments are available.Still, there have been lulls before, and while cases are low, they are increasing in many parts of the country. Vaccination rates worldwide are far lower, especially in developing countries.
