Faucis Message to Americans on Reopening: Dont Be Overconfident

Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, warned Americans about getting complacent in the face of possible upticks in COVID-19 infections as more parts of the country reopen.

Asked by CNNs Jim Sciutto on Wednesday if he had seen any “worrisome signs” suggestive of potential outbreaks in regions that were moving to reopen more aggressively, Fauci acknowledged “a little bit of an uptick” in some areas and urged people to stay vigilant against the virus.

“One thing that I think the people who are out there frolicking need to realize—that when you do that, and you see no negative effect in one week, please dont be overconfident because the effect of spreading is not going to be seen for two, three, maybe even more weeks,” Fauci told CNN in a May 27 interview.

While Americans across the country mostly settled for small processions and online tributes instead of parades Monday as they observed Memorial Day in the shadow of the pandemic, the weekend also saw crowded beaches and recreation spots.

Missouris health director issued a dire warning Monday after photos and video showed weekend revelers partying close together. One video posted on social media showed a crammed pool at Lake of the Ozarks. Many of those seen in the video were young people, who may not experience symptoms.

“When they then carry the virus and transmit it to a more vulnerable person, this is when we tend to see the long-lasting and tragic impact of these decisions that are being made,” said Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services Director Randall Williams.

St. Louis Mayor Lyda Krewson called such high-risk behavior “irresponsible and dangerous.”
