Fauci: The vast majority of hospitalized, unvaccinated
American doctors may soon be faced with the difficult decisions of selecting which patients with COVID-19 to put in intensive care.
Hospital capacities are again running towards exhaustion due to the high number of infected people who need specialized medical assistance.
The situation in hospitals is returning to the way it was during the previous wave of the December-January period, before the start of mass vaccination, and even the chief virologist Anthony Fauci admits this, as CNN writes.
Currently, nearly 80% of intensive care beds nationally are occupied by critically ill patients.
In 8 federal states including Florida, Texas and Georgia, capacities have reached more than 90%.
Fauci explains, however, that vaccination significantly reduces the need for hospitalization and that the vast majority of those admitted to intensive care are unvaccinated.
Therefore, the chief virologist says that the start of the injection of the third doses may not start this week as he himself promised, but it is expected to be carried out within the deadline set by President Biden on September 20.
The numbers of infections not only in the United States, but throughout the globe have a downward trend. This 24-hour period, they have halved compared to 1 week ago and this is increasingly being interpreted as a sign that the Delta variant may be nearing its end.
