WASHINGTON The coronavirus would be reduced to easily extinguished embers by the time next falls influenza season strikes, President Trump said at Wednesdays briefing of the White House task force, even as his top health experts continued to offer a decidedly more guarded outlook.
We will have coronavirus in the fall. I am convinced of that, said Dr. Anthony Fauci, a top epidemiologist at the National Institutes of Health, at the same briefing some minutes later. Faucis blunt style has sometimes annoyed Trump and often thrilled a public hungry for accurate information. He added that preparations made now would likely mitigate the impact of the virus come autumn.
Both men were speaking in the context of comments made the day before by Dr. Robert Redfield, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, to the Washington Post. He told the newspaper that not only was the coronavirus likely to return in the fall, but that its effect would be compounded by the flu.
Both the flu and COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus, are afflictions of the respiratory system. The flu is an upper respiratory disease while COVID-19 attacks the lungs.
