After being asked by MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell whether Americans should “cancel their travel plans for Christmas,” Fauci responded, “I think they’re going to have to make individual decisions, but I think we need to, as a nation, seriously consider the things that we in the public health arena have been talking about, of minimizing travel to the extent possible.”
“Sometimes it’s absolutely necessary, but to the extent possible, don’t travel, don’t congregate together,” Fauci advised, adding, “I know how difficult that is. We all have a strong degree of empathy knowing — and myself included — about wanting to be with your family, wanting to have a large Christmas dinner with family and friends over.”
“Right now, that just should not be done,” he declared, however. “To the best of our capabilities we should avoid travel and avoid congregate settings.”
Fauci went on to predict that the country is going to experience “a surge superimposed upon a surge, because we already have that sharp incline.”
U.S. virus deaths set a record yesterday, surpassing 3,100.
