During the online discussion, Fauci said it "may be likely that when we get to the next season, we may see another blip of this.”
Fauci was hopeful that by the time next season rolls around, many would be immune to the virus and that a vaccine would be available to help fight the spread.
Read Fauci’s full statement on the likelihood of the coronavirus returning next season here:
“It is conceivable and maybe likely that when we get to the next season, we may see another blip of this, but it would really be different. And I’ll tell you why it’s different because a certain percentage of the population will already have been immune. A bit of what we call herd immunity. We likely, by that time, we’ll have tested a number of drugs opefully some of them will be effective in treatment. And as I mentioned, just a couple of days ago, we started a vaccine trial and we hopefully within a year to a year and a half, would have a vaccine.”
