Fauci says 'things are going to get worse' as delta variant pushes surge in cases
By Joseph Choi - 08/01/21 10:15 AM EDT
Chief White House medical adviser Anthony Fauci on Sunday warned that "things are going to get worse" and that the U.S. will likely see more "pain and suffering" as the more infectious delta variant drives a surge in COVID-19 cases.
ABC's "This Week" host Jonathan Karl asked Fauci if the U.S. would see a return to lockdown condition that were seen last year, or if this surge is just a "temporary setback."
"John, I don't think we're gonna see lockdowns. I think we have enough of the percentage of people in the country — not enough to crush the outbreak — but I believe enough to not allow us to get into the situation we were in last winter," Fauci said.
