- The coronavirus infection rate has plummeted 44% over the last two weeks.
- More contagious COVID strains from the UK and South Africa have some experts worried that future outbreaks are on the way.
- To prevent another coronavirus surge, Dr. Fauci cautions that people still need to take mask-wearing and social distancing seriously.
With the coronavirus infection rate dropping significantly in recent weeks, there's something of an ongoing race to vaccinate as many Americans as possible before more contagious variants from the UK and South Africa spread far and wide. As it stands now, some health experts believe the UK coronavirus strain -- which is 50% more contagious than the original -- could become the dominant strain in the US as soon as March.
In light of the above, Dr. Fauci recently laid out two strategies that can prevent additional outbreaks from springing up over the next few weeks and months. Fauci's advice isn't exactly new or surprising, but with the COVID infection rate down 44% over the last two weeks alone, it's important to remain vigilant and keep things moving in the right direction. So while it's nice that we can finally be optimistic about the pandemic coming to an end, that optimism can be dangerous if it causes people to disregard safety guidelines.
