As 'quarantine fatigue' spreads, Fauci says second wave of coronavirus is 'inevitable'
As antsy Americans show growing signs of quarantine fatigue and officials face pressure to ease coronavirus restrictions, factories, malls and state governments in many parts of the country are taking steps toward reopening.
But Anthony S. Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said a second wave of infections is inevitable in the United States, which has recorded more than 1 million confirmed cases nearly one-third of the global total. Fauci also warned that we could be in for a bad fall and a bad winter if the right countermeasures arent put in place.
Here are some significant developments:
The U.S. economy shrank by 4.8 percent from January through March as it saw the worst slowdown in growth since the Great Recession.
Nearly half of the worlds workforce is at risk of losing their incomes as the pandemic continues to disrupt lives and economies around the globe, a U.N. agency warned.
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe warned that holding the Tokyo Olympics in 2021 will be impossible if the pandemic is not contained.
