Dr. Anthony Fauci, chief medical adviser to President Biden, cites the U.S. vaccination program and previous widespread transmission of COVID-19 as reasons why the country is not now under pandemic conditions. Here, travelers are seen at Miami International Airport last week, after mask requirements were lifted.The U.S. is no longer in the grip of the COVID-19 pandemic, despite the coronavirus's continuing global threat, according to Dr.
More than two years into the pandemic, it's not surprising that antibody blood tests would show that a high percentage of the U.S. population has had the virus, Fauci said. He added that while immunity derived from infection isn't indefinite, it does give people some protection against contracting a severe case of COVID-19 in the future.
Part of that dynamic is that people aren't getting tested as frequently now, and Fauci said if they test positive without showing serious symptoms, they might not be reporting it to local health agencies., Fauci reiterated that hospitalization rates are rising only slowly, unlike during the surge driven by the delta variant.that U.S. coronavirus deaths have fallen to a seven-day average of about 300 per day.
