  Infectious Disease Expert: The 'Darkest Of The Entire Pandemic' Has Yet To Come

  Michael Osterholm, a renowned infectious disease expert, told NBC’s “Meet the Press” Sunday that “the next six to 12 weeks are going to be the darkest of the entire pandemic” and expressed concern that the U.S. lacks a leading voice to guide the public.

  “Vaccines will not become available in any meaningful way until early to [the] third quarter of next year. And even then, about half of the U.S. population at this point is skeptical of even taking the vaccine,” said Osterholm, director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota.

  Osterholm pointed to the daily tally of 70,000 new COVID-19 cases in the U.S. Friday, the highest level since July. Between now and the holidays, the number of COVID-19 cases in the U.S. will likely “blow right through that,” he said.

  • the problem is that while new case continue to rise, deaths are going way down. In France in the beginning they were getting 5000 cases a day and close to 1000_niko
  • deaths per day, now its up tp 30,000 cases a day but only 100 deaths per day, so it might be a false security_niko
