Since COVID-19 was declared an international pandemic, the world has learned difficult lessons according to Dr. Anthony Fauci. They are as follows:
- Don’t understand the impact of the pandemic. Don’t ever estimate [an outbreak] as it evolves and don’t try to look at the rosy side of things.
- Always do scientifically sound research.
- Adapt to new information. If you look at what we knew in February compared to what we know now [about Covid-19], there really are a lot of differences. The role of masks, the role of aerosol, the role of indoor vs. outdoors, closed spaces. You’ve just got to be humble enough to realize that we don’t know it all from the get-go and even as we get into it.
- Address existing health care disparities. There is a high number of hospitalizations with COVID within African-American and Latin community.
