COVID Cases Expected To Surge following Thanksgiving

According to a member of President-elect Joe Biden’s COVID-19 advisory board, the country should expect more deaths, hospitalizations, and an increase in COVID-19 cases in the weeks after Thanksgiving. Dr. Celine Gounder says after being exposed to the deadly virus, it can take up to 14 days to develop COVID-19 symptoms. Meanwhile, Dr. Anthony Fauci says that the arrival of vaccines offers a light at the tunnel’s end. He said the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices would meet with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention this week to discuss a vaccine rollout.
