Infectious disease expert says the worst is yet to come for America’s battle against Covid-19
By Karen Mhlanga
Micheal Osterholm, Director of the Center for Infectious Disease research and policy at the University of Minnesota warns that the next coming several months will be the darkest of the whole pandemic.
During an interview on NBC’s Meet the Press Sunday Osterholm said: “The next six to twelve weeks are going to be the darkest of the pandemic.”
When asked about the White House’s push towards her immunity the director said he did not agree with the administration.
Osterholm said:“We’re not telling the full story. We do have vaccines and therapeutics coming down the pike, but when you look at the time period for that, the next six to twelve weeks are going to be the darkest of the pandemic.”
On Friday America received the highest Coronavirus cases since July which were 70,000, described as worrisome by Osterholm.
“Friday we had 70,000 cases, matching the largest number we had seen back during the really serious peak in July. That number… we’re going to blow right through that. And between now and the holidays we will see numbers much much larger,” he said.
