The issue of physical separation is important. Masks can help. But it is masks plus physical separation and when we get congregations like we saw with the demonstrations as we have said, myself and other Health Officials that is taking a risk. Unfortunately what we are seeing now is an example of the types of things we were concerned about. I would not be surprised that members of the congregation that were there demonstrating could also be infected and many of them will go back to where they were because not everyone was demonstrating in the city where they live. Theyve come from the outside. It is the kinds of things we are concerned about and unfortunately we are seeing it come true right now. When you are developing vaccines, there is never a guarantee you are going to have a safe and effective vaccine. I am confident about how well the process is continuing and the development of more than one candidate. In the testing in animals and phase one in humans looks promising making me cautiously optimistic. As we go into the early summer we will be in advanced Clinical Trials in one and close to maybe three or more candidates. Hopefully by the time we get to the middle of fall if the process goes well we will have enough information to make a decision whether the vaccine is safe and effective. That means if we are in good shape and that happens we could have a vaccine either by the end of the calendar year or in the first few months of 2021. That is the thing that makes me feel that the process is really on track. That is good news, again, in the context of never being able to guarantee success things are clearly going in the right direction. We have a very large country. The dynamics of infection really differ from a region, state, city, town, county. So the School Opening would really have to be dictated by the degree and the dynamics of infection in the community. There will be some communities in which the infection rate and dynamic is extremely low so that schools can open with little risk. There may be other areas that you might want to modify the school situation. There are a number of creative ways to do that which the authorities figured out. Stagger the classes or keep people separated. It depends on the status of the location in which you act. You dont want to make a unidimensional decision about the entire country. You have to look at where you are and what the dynamics of the infection are. Dont we love dr. Fauci . He explains everything very well. We love you dr. Fauci.

Crowds on beaches and protests, Health Experts say it is a perfect storm that could end up fuelling a rise in covid19 cases. Some predict tens of thousands more deaths by the end of summer. Good morning, doctor, thank you for joining us. Lets talk about an alarming new warning from a harvard doctor that says we could see 100,000 more lives lost by the end of the summer. What are your thoughts on that number . Yes, mona. I think that number of 100,000 to 200,000 by september is likely possible because now people are having a lot of fatigue of social distancing and being trapped in their homes. We can see that by memorial day weekend and how people, you and some of them did not adhere to the social distancing. And by some estimates the cdc states that by the end of this month we could see anywhere between 118 to 143,000 deaths. Just in the month of june. Doctor, lets move to the race for a vaccine. We are hearing about phase three trials this summer. Tell us what phase three means in the terms of a timeline for a cure. Phase three is the final part of the trial before the vaccine is licensed and mass produced for everybody to use. So it looks at safety and it also looks to see if the vaccine actually works. Some estimates say that we will have some idea of the effectiveness by december, but it is still too early to tell. One of the top googled questions about covid19 is how long do i need to wear a mask . I want to ask what people need to know about mask wearing, especially during the summer heat. And do people that tested positive for antibodies still need to wear a mask . The cdc came out with a warning saying the antibody test, even if you have the antibodies you still need to do social distancing and keep wearing the masks because we dont know what level of antibodies that you need to have to be protected from being reinfected. In europe right now, they are looking at that. They are trying to understand the level of antibodies that we need to have. But right now Everybody Needs to wear a mask and the experts that i talked to say for at least one more year. Even when the vaccine is ready and deployed it is going to take time to have everybody vaccinated and for the vaccine to start working so that we get that herd immunity that we really need. Until then social distancing and masks may be part of the new normal but they have very fashionable masks now and lightweight fabrics as long as you have multiple layers. Some of the masks have pockets to put a filter in. Those are useful too that you can use. And the mix is next. Those are useful too that you can use. And the mix is next.
