Anthony Fauci says it's likely the U.S. could be back to normal by next
Mother's Day, but he says that means most people in the country will need to be
vaccinated.
“We've got to make sure that we get the overwhelming proportion of the
population vaccinated,” says Dr. Fauci. “When that happens, the virus
doesn't really have anywhere to go. There aren't a lot of vulnerable people
around, and when there
are not a lot of vulnerable
people around, you're not going to see a surge. You're not going to see the
kind of numbers that we see now. That being the case, I think we could approach
what we used to remember as normal before all of this tragedy happened."
