Coronavirus Update: Fauci suggests the U.S. is now ‘out of the pandemic phase’
““We are certainly right now in this country out of the pandemic phase. Namely, we don’t have 900,000 new infections a day and tens and tens and tens of thousands of hospitalizations and thousands of deaths. We are at a low level right now.””
“’Pandemic’ means a widespread, throughout the world infection that spreads rapidly among people,” he said. “So, if you look at the global situation, there’s no doubt this pandemic is still ongoing.” He noted that cases are probably under-reported, however, probably because many Americans who have developed some degree of immunity through vaccination or prior COVID infection aren’t experiencing as many symptoms when they get COVID, so they are not going to the hospital or reporting the infection to government officials or public health organizations.
Some 219.4 million people living in the U.S. are fully vaccinated, equal to 66.1% of the total population, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s tracker. And 100.2 million are boosted, equal to 45.7% of the vaccinated population. “In clinical trials, when you looked at the proportion of individuals who were protected from getting on and progressing to hospitalizations, it was close to 90%,” he said. “So we need to do more. There are a lot of doses available.”
