Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s top expert on infectious diseases, joined Colorado Governor Jared Polis yesterday to discuss the state of Covid-19 in Colorado and the anticipated surge in cases following the Thanksgiving holiday.
Dr. Fauci said Colorado is not alone is seeing a spike in cases and described the situation the country is seeing as a “public health crisis.”
Fauci continued to urge people to wear a face covering, comparing wearing a mask to wearing a seat belt.
It remains that one in 41 Coloradans are estimated to be contagious with the virus.
The Governor and Fauci also talked about the timeline for vaccination distribution. The vaccine should be available to high priority individuals starting this month. By April, Fauci expects it will be available to the general public.
