Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s top infectious disease expert, said Tuesday that the unique qualities of the \u201cunprecedented\u201d novel coronavirus that helped it \u201cexplode\u201d into a global pandemic <\/a>represent the kind of nightmarish scenario that keeps him up at night.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat keeps me up at night is the emergence of a brand new infection, likely jumping species from an animal, that’s respiratory born, highly transmissible, with a high degree of morbidity and mortality. And, lo and behold, that’s where we are right now,\u201d Fauci said during a livestreamed interview Tuesday with The Economic Club of Washington, D.C. “And the reason it’s so unprecedented, it exploded upon us.”<\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone is at risk,\u201d the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases said. \u201cWith this, everyone seems vulnerable, with a disease that’s highly transmissible.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is really unprecedented,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Fauci said the illness \u201cexploded in a way that’s been unprecedented in a compact period of time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Later in the interview, Fauci reiterated his view that the pandemic will persist through the fall.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m almost certain it will come back. The virus is so transmissible,\u201d he said. \u201cIn my mind, it\u2019s inevitable that we will have a return of the virus or that maybe it never went away.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added that it will come down to \u201chow we handle it\u201d in the fall that \u201cwill determine our fate.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIf by that time we have put into place all of the countermeasures \u2026 if we address that, we will do reasonably well,\u201d he said. \u201cIf we don\u2019t do that, we could be in for a bad fall and a bad winter.\u201d<\/p>\n

At the same time, Fauci repeated his view that a widely available vaccine<\/a> won\u2019t be available for at least \u201clikely a year to a year and a half.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHopefully by that time we get to this coming winter, we will know whether we have a safe and effective vaccine,\u201d he said. \u201cThe challenge would then be to scale it up.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
