Dr. Anthony Fauci—the White Health advisor who previously spoke onĀ society never getting back to ā€œnormalā€ after coronavirus, is now saying the United States won’t get back to normal until late 2021.

Fauci recently made an appearance on MSNBC for ā€˜Andrea Mitchell Reports’ and noted that he’s confident about a coronavirus vaccine becoming available by early 2021. Fauci said, ā€œBut by the time you mobilize the distribution of the vaccine and get a majority or more of the population vaccinated and protected, that’s likely not going to happen until the end of 2021. If you’re talking about getting back to a degree of normality prior to COVID, it’s going to be well into 2021, towards the end of 2021.”
