Michael Osterholm doubted future national surges in COVID-19 but said "substantial" local and regional ones were a possibility.
Infectious disease expert Michael Osterholm warned on Friday of the possibility of “substantial” local and regionalized surges of COVID-19, telling CNN’s Poppy Harlow that “we’re not done with this virus at all.” Osterholm, the director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota, doubted another national surge because of the scale of the United States’ vaccination program which to date has seen more than 175 million Americans receive at least one shot. But Osterholm said more localized surges could occur if the highly transmissible Delta variant took hold in the U.S., where it is now quickly spreading.More Related News
