The White House’s chief medical adviser, Anthony Fauci, has warned that “it is likely that the omicron variant of the coronavirus will lead to new records of infections, hospitalizations and deaths in the United States.” “Unfortunately, I think it will happen.”, Fauci said in statements to ‘CNN’, in response to a question about whether there will be a new record of cases.
“We are going to see significant pressure in some regions of the country, in its hospital system, in particular, in areas where there is a lower vaccination rate, which is why We continue to stress the importance of getting vaccinated who have not yet done so, “he said.
In this sense, Fauci has warned that the arrival of omicron will be “hard”: “We can’t help it. With the omicron we are going to have a few weeks or very hard months during winter“, he assured, to which he added that” the scope of mutations and amino acid substitutions in omicron was not expected, “he explained.
“It came out of nowhere. There was a virus and now there are 50 mutations, 30 of which are at the tip of the protein and 10 or 12 correspond to the receptor linkage. For me it is unprecedented, “said the White House’s chief medical adviser.
