“The numbers are coming down,” Dr. Fauci confirmed. “When you look at the daily curves and the seven day averages, as you're showing on the screen, there it's dramatically down with a sharp deflection.”

However, while this is something to celebrate, it doesn’t mean that the pandemic is over, mostly due to one factor. “We've gotta be really careful and not just say, ‘Okay, now we're finished. Now we're through it.’ We have variants out there that could actually set us back,” he revealed.

We have the South African variant. It's not dominant. It looks like the 117 from the UK is going to take over as the dominant. We do have a good vaccine against that.”
