US chief infectious disease specialist Anthony Fauci warned that as the Omicron strain spreads in the country, the number of new cases is likely to continue to rise.
“If you have many, many, many milder cases, it can neutralize the positive effect of reducing the severity of the disease. And we are especially worried about the unvaccinated. They are most vulnerable when you have a virus that is extremely infectious in humans.” – he declared.
Fauci noted that the number of cases is increasing every day. Last week’s average was around 150,000 and is likely to be much higher.
