Nearly all coronavirus transmission happens in these 5 places

[Andy Meek]

• The vast majority of coronavirus cases right now are occurring in just five types of places, according to CNN's chief medical correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta.
• Three of the places are related, as they include restaurants, cafes, and bars.
• Gupta said that mass coronavirus lockdown situations can be avoided if localities instead focus on these specific kinds of places when instituting new restrictions.

White House health advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci has made an ominous new prediction about the scope of the coronavirus pandemic, which is continuing to worsen considerably in the US thanks in part to holiday travel that's spreading the virus more around the country.

In an interview with Newsweek, Dr. Fauci offered a considerably bleak prediction ahead of a holiday-fueled surge in coronavirus cases: January, he thinks, is going to be utterly terrible. Maybe even the worst month of the pandemic yet. "I think January is going to be terrible, because you're going to have the Thanksgiving surge super-imposed upon the Christmas surge," Dr. Fauci explained. "So, it's entirely conceivable that January could be the worst."
