Dr. Anthony Fauci, President Biden’s chief medical adviser, said on Sunday that he does not think the United States will return to lockdowns, even as the number of coronavirus cases in the country spikes largely because of the highly infectious delta variant.
“I don’t think we’re going to see lockdowns. I think we have enough of the percentage of people in the country, not enough to crush the outbreak, but I believe enough to not allow us to get into the situation we were in last winter,” Fauci told host Jon Karl on ABC’s “This Week.”
He did, however, say “things are going to get worse,” before contending that the country is “seeing an outbreak of the unvaccinated.”
