During an online discussion of the pandemic with California Governor Gavin Newsom, Dr. Fauci offered some hope, saying that IF vaccine distribution speeds up — and enough people decide to get vaccinated — that some sense of normality might return by next Fall.

‘Assuming that the broad vaccination campaign progresses as it should through May, June and July, by the time we get to the early fall, we will have enough good herd immunity to be able to really get back to some strong semblance of normality – schools, theaters, sports events, restaurants,’ Fauci said. 

Right now, we are woefully behind as only 10% of the promised 20 million doses have been administered.
