American experts: Anti-Condavid vaccines are coming, but preventative measures remain primary

Two senior U.S. Coronavirus experts assured Americans Sunday that vaccines against pandemic will soon become available, but warned that failure to take precautions against the spread of the virus before that time could have catastrophic consequences. I think we'll have enough vaccines up to [...]
I think we'll have enough vaccines by the end of the year to immune 20 million Americans. But the American people have to do what they need to do until that vaccine is widely distributed”, Admiral Brett Giroir, head of the virus test at the White House, told CNN. “
Admiral Giroir named two possible vaccines, which are now under the scrutiny of the American Food and Barnat Administration, as “life-saving”, adding that “this ends the pandemic. ”
But by then, he said, the “American people have to do the right thing until that vaccine can be widely distributed, wear a mask, avoid spaces filled with people, all the things you know. ”
Admiral Gyroir said he believes there will be a “calm, professional success” in dealing with the distribution of vaccines from the outgoing president's administration Donald Trump to that of President-elect Joe Biden when he is inaugurated on January 20th.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, the country's leading expert on infectious diseases, speaking of the show “Thisas Week” in ABC, said the “aid is coming in” and that the initial amount of vaccines may be available by mid-December.
Dr. Fauci said health experts “understand American fatigue” with measures to prevent exposure to the virus. But he said that wearing facial masks and respecting physical distance “have an effect”.
Millions of Americans limited their traditional family gatherings for the annual Thanksgiving last Thursday, yet millions of others ignored warnings from health care experts against trips to visit relatives.
I worry that the same thing” will happen with people's travel at the risk of spreading the virus for Christmas visits with their families, Dr. Faucie.
He said that gathering people poses a significant “risk”.
Dr. Fauci urged state and local officials “to close bars, keep the schools open”, to maintain the lower community-wide distribution “”.
Let's try to get the kids back and try to get rid of the activities they store or add to that community distribution level we're trying to avoid,” said Mr. Fauci.
The estimates came as the United States exceeded 13 million cases confirmed Friday, just six days after it reached 12 million cases. The highly transmitted virus causing COVID-19 has caused the deaths of more than 266,000 Americans, more than any other country, according to Johns Hopkins University.
More than 91,000 infected individuals are currently laid out in the United States a record of all time, with more than 18,000 in intensive care units. / VOA
