Fauci warns time running short to prevent 'dangerous' Covid surge in US - The Guardian

Coronavirus cases rising across the country for the first time in weeks as experts fear Thanksgiving will fuel a further increase.

Coronavirus cases across the US are rising again for the first time in weeks, and approaching 100,000 per day.

“We still have about 60 million people in this country who are eligible to be vaccinated who have not been, and that results in the dynamic of virus in the community that not only is dangerous and makes people who are unvaccinated vulnerable, but it also spills over into the vaccinated people,” Fauci said on CNN’s State of the Union on Sunday.

Since we can vaccinate children from five to 11, you start vaccinating them now [and] they will be fully vaccinated by the time we get to the Christmas holidays.”.

The daily average of new cases has risen 29% in the last 14 days, analysis by the New York Times shows, while fewer than 60% of those eligible are fully vaccinated.
