Top US Infectious Disease: World Coronavirus Epidemic Just Begins

The coronavirus pandemic in the world still remains at its initial stage, said Dr. Anthony Fauci, chief expert of the US coronavirus working group, on July 9, in an interview with Corriere della Sera. According to him, large outbreaks of coronavirus in Brazil and Asia suggest that an increase in the pandemic is very likely. We see large outbreaks in Brazil, South Africa and Asia, so we remain in the initial stage of a global pandemic, which is very likely to increase before it begins to weaken, Fauci said. At the same time, he admitted that it was still not possible to take control of the situation with coronavirus in the United States and called on all countries of the world to coordinate measures to contain the pandemic. It is bad that some states in tried to resume economic activity too quickly, starting to ease restrictions. Many people, especially young people, violated quarantine guidelines. As a result, we are seeing an increase in the number of new infections in California, Arizona, Florida and Texas, Fauci said. According to the news agency, the United States remains in first place in the world in the number of cases of coronavirus infection, which has already exceeded 3.1 million.
