Fauci warns against Super Bowl parties to avoid virus spread

This is a wake up call to all of us that we will be dealing as the virus uses its devices to evade pressure, particularly immunological pressure, that we will continue to see the evolution of mutants. So we that means that we, as the government, the companies, all of us that are in this together will have to be nimble to be able to just adjust readily to make versions of the vaccine that actually are specifically directed towards whatever mutation is actually prevalent at any given time. This all tells us that it is an incentive to do what we've been saying all along to vaccinate as many people as we can as quickly as we possibly can, because mutations occur because the virus has a playing field as it were to mutate. If you stop that and stop the replication, viruses cannot mutate If they don't replicate. Um, by the time someone has symptoms, get the test as a positive result and we get the sequence, our opportunity for doing real case control and and and contact tracing is largely gone. And so I think, and I believe that we should be treating every case as if It's a variant during this pandemic right now, over the next couple of months, we will be doing trials in a in an age de escalation manner so that hopefully, by the time we get to the late spring and early summer, we will have Children. Being able to be vaccinated, according to the FDA, is guidance.

The nation's top infectious disease expert doesn't want the Super Bowl to turn into a super spreader.

Dr. Anthony Fauci, says when it comes to Super Bowl parties during the pandemic, people should “just lay low and cool it.”

He said during TV interviews Wednesday that now isn’t the time to invite people over for watch parties because of the possibility that they’re infected with the coronavirus and could sicken others.

Big events like Sunday’s game in Tampa, Florida, between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are always a cause for concern over the potential for virus spread, Fauci said.

“You don't want parties with people that you haven’t had much contact with,” he told NBC's “Today” show. "You just don’t know if they’re infected, so, as difficult as that is, at least this time around, just lay low and cool it.”

The NFL has capped game attendance at 22,000 people because of the pandemic and citywide coronavirus mandates.
