WASHINGTON D.C. - Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, told a coronavirus press briefing on Monday that the world may never return to the “normal” that was known before the outbreak.
He said that we will gradually come back to where we can function as a society again, but, even with a vaccine, the virus will be a looming threat. "When we get back to normal, we will go back to the point where we can function as a society,” he said.
He continued, “If you want to get back to pre-coronavirus, that might not ever happen in the sense that the threat is there.” As of early Tuesday morning, the coronavirus has been blamed for 74,000 deaths globally.
