Dr. Fauci also outlined what he thinks our 'new normal' will look like until the virus is contained.
, I don’t think that’s going to happen until we do have a situation where you can completely protect the population,” Fauci said at the briefing. “But when we say getting back to normal, we mean something very different from what we’re going through right now. Because right now, we’re in a very intense mitigation.”
During his interview with Guthrie, Dr. Fauci said he’s “cautiously optimistic” that the U.S. may soon start to see a “turnaround and that curve not only flatten, but coming down.” That doesn’t mean that we’re out of the woods once that happens, however. “When we attempt to get back to normal, we have to have in place the ability, when it starts to try and rear its ugly head, we can absolutely suppress it by identification, isolation, contact tracing,” he said.. These blood tests can help determine how many people were previously infected with COVID-19 but were asymptomatic.
When Guthrie asked him if he believes it’s a realistic possibility that all Americans could eventually be tested for COVID-19, Dr. Fauci expressed his doubts. But, he does feel that the antibody tests could help Americans return to a more normal life while a vaccine is being developed. “I think something akin to what you’re saying is possible,” he added.
Certainly not the “normal” we’re sure many people are expecting to return to, but hearing something this “cautiously optimistic” out of Dr. Fauci is heartening.
