Fauci: 'We have not yet seen the full blunt' of Thanksgiving
Dr. Anthony Fauci and White House coronavirus response coordinator Dr. Deborah Birx warned Tuesday that the U.S. hasn't yet seen the full impact of Thanksgiving gatherings.
“We have not yet seen the full blunt and the effect of the traveling and the congregating,” Fauci said at The Wall Street Journal's CEO Council summit .“That should be sometime probably next week, or a week and a half.”
"Then we're going to enter into the Christmas season, again, with more traveling and with more congregating at family and social gatherings. So we're in for a very challenging period," Fauci continued. "And the only way we're going to counter that is by a consistent uniform implementation and adherence to public health measures."
Fauci also said he’s accepted President-elect Joe Biden’s offer to become his chief medical adviser.
“I've already told the president-elect that I would gladly accept that responsibility. It really is very similar to what I'm doing now,” Fauci said.
