Fauci Warns of Fall Coronavirus Dangers: ‘We are entering into a risk period’

According to this article by The Hill, Anthony Fauci, the United States top infectious diseases expert, warned Tuesday that the country is “entering into a risk period” for rising coronavirus infections as fall begins. When asked “how bad… this could get” by CNN’s Sanjay Gupta, Fauci responded, “It’s always the balance of trying not to frighten people at the same time of trying to jolt them into a realization of what needs to be done to protect themselves as individuals and the country.”

“We are entering into a risk period and we’ve got to act accordingly as we enter into that risk period,” Fauci said. He also commented he did not see the worst-case scenario as inevitable, saying, “it is within our hands to prevent that.”
