Dr. Anthony Fauci expects more dire days ahead as the COVID-19 pandemic continues to rage on through the holidays.
The infectious diseases expert told CNN he agrees with President-elect Joe Biden’s estimation that the worst of the pandemic could be ahead of us.
“The reason I’m concerned, and my colleagues in public health are concerned also, is that we very well might see a post-seasonal — in the sense of Christmas, New Year’s — surge, and, as I have described it, as a surge upon a surge,” Fauci said CNN’s “State of the Union” program.
“If you look at the slope, the incline of cases that we have experienced as we have gone into the late fall and soon-to-be-early winter, it is really quite troubling.”
Last week, Biden said the “darkest days” of the pandemic are ahead of us.
On Sunday, Fauci expressed concern that the situation “might actually get worse” in the coming weeks.
There have been more than 63,000 confirmed deaths from coronavirus in the United States in December — the most of any month since the pandemic began.
Overall, the U.S. has reported the most coronavirus cases, with more than 18.9 million, and the most deaths, with more than 331,000, of any country since the start of the pandemic.
Fauci told CNN on Sunday that he estimates between 70% and 85% of people will need to be vaccinated for herd immunity to be reached.

Yep, the darkest days are ahead of us, Biden and Fauci will be running things. Does it get any darker than that?
I agree. THESE traitors, need to just SHUT UP…
There will be much I will miss about Trump, though I believe above all is his infinitely positive can do attitude.
In contrast the weak whinny doom and gloom world is ending attitude of Biden will be a hard pill to swallow.
I look forward to the return of America’s rightful president.
Only what the human mind conceives, is what the human mind conceives. Imagine darkness, failure, death and destruction, poverty and social dependence and you will make it arrive as night follows day. Imagine a MAGA country of self-governing Americans whose work ethic produces an abundance to be shared by others and that also will follow as day follows night. Why THE PEOPLE would choose the darkness over the light is prima facie evidence of the PROGRESSIVE corruption already perpetrated upon our minds, hearts and souls, by the social conquering secular socialists disguised these days as Democrats, that we have embraced in the immediate gratifications of pleasure that like drug use always ends up leading to the long tern destruction of nations and its people. We are about to get 4 more years of darkness, and winters of our social discontent and division, self-proclaimed by the very people who will lead us into it. Let’s hope when its over we don’t end up feeling like blinded moles when we finally come out of our caves and basements , into the light to reclaim the conquering creative American destiny, we were designed by our Creator to be, and create in his very own image he gave us to emulate.
Patriot. WHO do you anticipate ‘returning him to us’?? Congress?? HELL NO.
The courts? Like hell….
Neither of these dullards have spoken a truthful word in decades, if ever. However, when they say our darkest days are ahead of us, they inadvertently stumble into a true sentiment. With the democraps in charge, our darkest days are truly ahead of us.
one has never had a real job and the other has never had a patient and they are the smartest people in the room.
that is the state of america right now lying cheating stealing killing and communism.
Yea I would predict Dark days ahead too if I were going to jail ! 🙂
