More pain ahead as cases rise: US expert

Washington, August 2

Dr Anthony Fauci, America’s top infectious disease expert, has warned that more “pain and suffering” is on the horizon as Covid cases climb again and officials plead with unvaccinated Americans to get their shots.

Fauci also said he doesn’t foresee more lockdown in the US because he believes enough people are vaccinated. However, he said not enough are inoculated to “crush the outbreak” at this point.

Meanwhile, Britain on Monday reported 21,952 further cases and an additional 24 deaths, according to official data. — Agencies
