Fauci: Yes, we expect a second outbreak this fall, but…

The particulars of what he outlines there should be familiar by now. We ll have greater testing by fall to identify infections quickly; we ll be able to trace contacts of infected people and isolate them; we ll have therapeutic drugs, possibly even very early vaccine use for medical providers. Those are the core elements of the Scott Gottlieb plan for reopening America that I wrote about earlier. They re the same core elements of this Ezekiel Emanuel proposal for getting back to business. There s no real daylight among epidemiologists on what we need to do to end the lockdowns, restore some degree of normalcy and productivity, and prevent future coronavirus wildfires while we re waiting for the vaccine. Just follow the South Korean model. Build up testing and surveillance, build up hospital resilience, clear people to return to work who were infected and have since recovered.
