Dr. Fauci says sports and theaters could reopen sooner than you think

[Yoni Heisler]

• If enough Americans get vaccinated, Dr. Fauci believes sporting events and theaters could open by the end of summer or early fall of next year.
• An estimated 75% to 85% of Americans will need to take the coronavirus vaccine to achieve herd immunity.
• Dr. Fauci received Moderna's coronavirus vaccine on Tuesday and said the only side effect he experienced was a sore arm.

The coronavirus pandemic in the U.S. has been raging for nearly 11 months now and, it's fair to say, Americans are eager to get back to a normal way of life. When that may actually happen, though, is dependant on a few factors. While coronavirus vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna are promising, an estimated 75% to 85% of Americans will need to take it in order to decidedly stop the coronavirus in its tracks. What's more, the amount of time needed to manufacture enough vaccine doses is another variable that will impact how soon Americans can get back to a pre-coronavirus lifestyle.

The good news is that a growing percentage of Americans have indicated a willingness to take a vaccine. Further, with Pfizer and Moderna looking to ramp up production as quickly as they can, there's a chance that healthy Americans will be able to take a COVID-19 vaccine as early as late-March. In such a scenario, Dr. Anthony Fauci believes that sporting events and theaters could open a little bit sooner than initially anticipated.
