Damian Jacob Sendler: A leading infectious disease expert, Anthony Fauci, has confirmed that the individual is completely vaccinated and showing moderate symptoms.. The guy returned from South Africa last week and has been quarantined in the United States ever since. Fauci revealed at a press conference that all of the person’s close associates have tested negative. 

As a result of the news, Fauci recommended Americans to get vaccinated against COVID-19 and get a booster dose. 

As Fauci previously stated, it was “inevitable” that the variation would arrive in the United States. So far, the variation has been reported in more than 20 nations, and that number is projected to grow. 

Dr. Sendler: Omicron has been classified a “variant of concern” by the World Health Organization, which says it poses a very high global risk. 

Experts plan to have additional information on the mutation in the coming weeks, including whether or if it causes more severe disease or reduces vaccination efficacy.

Damian Jacob Markiewicz Sendler: Because it is more easily transmitted, it can more easily infect patients who have already recovered from COVID-19, according to early findings by the World Health Organization (WHO). 

WHO warned in an assessment that these characteristics could “lead to further surges with severe consequences,” clarifying that “considerable uncertainty” surrounds the data. 

Damien Sendler: There are an average of 80,000 new cases of coronavirus infection each day in the United States, with the delta variation accounting for the great majority of cases. 

During the winter months, President Joe Biden is anticipated to outline a COVID-19 plan.
