Did Dr. Fauci just move the goalposts when it comes to the 6-foot social distancing rule?
The latest coronavirus update for the US looks more promising than ever, with new COVID-19 cases trending downward from their peak in recent months. Vaccinations are also proceeding at a steady clip, with more than 107 million doses of the Pfizer, Moderna, or Johnson & Johnson shot now having been administered in the US since December. That’s according to Bloomberg’s vaccine tracker, which adds that we’re about 5 months away from covering 75% of the US population with a full two-dose coronavirus vaccine series -- more than enough to achieve herd immunity in the population here.
As a consequence of all this, changes in the local, state, and national responses to the coronavirus pandemic in the US have begun to be considered. Some states, like Texas and Mississippi, have started rolling back measures at the state level, like face mask mandates. Meanwhile, White House chief medical adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci has seemed to endorse a possible change that could emerge from the CDC in a matter of days, related to one of the most widely-practiced safety measures in the wake of the pandemic.
