Fauci replied, “You know, I think it’s possible that it is. It depends on what you mean by normality. “
Bash said, “It’s true. That’s why I want you to define it.
Fauci said: “It’s important because if normalcy means exactly the way things were before it happened to us, I mean, I can’t predict.”
The doctor seemed to think the worst was behind us.
“I mean, obviously, I think we’ll have a significant degree of normalcy beyond what the terrible burden we’ve all been through over the past year as we move into the fall and winter d ‘by the end of the year, “Fauci said.
Fauci was quoted today as saying that we will be back to normal in 2022. Which is strange because Florida returned to normal 6 months ago and their results are just as good as places that are not. not returned to normal. Maybe we should just go back to normal and let people make their own choices

Fauci: vaccinations are essential
He added: “I fully agree with the President that we will approach a certain degree of normalcy. It may or may not be exactly as it was in November 2019, but much better than what we are doing now.
Bash again insisted on the 2022 question: “Why do you think Americans should wear masks in 2022?”
Fauci replied, “You know, because it depends on the level of dynamics of the virus in the community, and it’s really important because it comes down to something, again you said, if you see the level go down. really, really very low. “
He continued, “I want it to keep going down to such a low base level that there is virtually no threat.”
“It will never be zero, but minimal, minimal, minimal threat, you will be exposed to someone who is infected,” Fauci said.
Fauci said it was essential to get as many people vaccinated as possible.
“So if you combine getting most of the people in the country vaccinated with a very, very low level of the virus in the community, then I think you’re going to be able to say, you know, for the most part we don’t have to. not necessarily wear masks, but if we have a level of virus that is at this level that months and months ago, like 20,000 a day, it is much better than it was ” , Fauci said.
In Fauci’s explanation, “not necessarily wearing a mask” seems to do a lot of work.
“I think it’s possible that it is,” Fauci says of Americans still wearing masks in 2022. He tells @DanaBashCNN sure @CNNSotu that the United States will “approach a certain degree of normalcy” by the end of the year

When would he be comfortable without more masks?
“When it goes down and the overwhelming majority of the population is vaccinated, then I would feel comfortable saying we need to take the masks off,” Fauci said.
“We don’t need masks,” concluded Dr Fauci.
