Dr. Anthony Fauci, the federal government’s top infectious disease expert, says the U.S. is no longer in a pandemic phase.
More than two years after a mysterious new virus forced businesses and schools to close and Americans to cocoon in their homes, Dr. Anthony Fauci, the federal government’s top infectious disease expert, says the U.S. is no longer in a pandemic phase
But Fauci noted that pandemics are defined by disease spreading rapidly and over a wide geographic area, such as multiple countries or continents and that, globally, "there’s no doubt this pandemic is still ongoing" “We are certainly right now in this country out of the pandemic phase,” said Fauci, who is director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and President Joe Biden’s chief medical adviser. “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.”
Fauci made the comments as the country is seeing yet another rise in coronavirus cases, fueled by omicron subvariants.The BA.2 and BA.2.12.1 subvariants are accounting for 97% of new cases in the U.S., according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Health experts believe those strains are more contagious than the original omicron variant, but there’s no evidence they are more likely to cause severe illness.
