Chief White House medical adviser Anthony Fauci said in an interview aired on Sunday that he believes people will have to begin "living with COVID," expressing doubts that the virus will be eradicated.
Speaking to host Margaret Brennan on CBS's "Face the Nation," Fauci touched on previous remarks in which he said he would like to see daily infections fall below 10,000 in order for the U.S. to be able to "live with COVID." Brennan noted that current COVID-19 infection rates are now approaching 80,000 per day.
Fauci said this current infection level is "unacceptable."
"I mean, we've heard people say, understandably, they're trying to look for a metric to give to the public that we're going to have to start living with COVID. I believe that's the case because I don't think we're going to eradicate it. We've only eradicated one infection of mankind, and that's smallpox. I don't think we're even going to eliminate it," the infectious disease expert said.

Thanks captain obvious. ....he’s only about 18 months late with this.
Not a shock to me. When close to have the population basically thinks it's a hoax, it's really impossible to try to beat it in a competent way.
COVID is hear to stay. Trump supporters won.
That seems to be the take away. It will be like getting a yearly Flu Shot.
If you right-wing assholes would have been vaccinated., it would be a whisper of what it is now. Yes, we have a large group of people who are incubators for new covids and carriers of what is here.
Fauci says 'we're going to have to start living with COVID'
But wait there's more. The media is introducing, just in time for the midterms, another variant. Who wouda thunk?
Lockdown and start printing ballots.

Not if the ignorant ignore them, moron.
There it is. All hanging out pink and naked. Fauci wants to mandate masks and vaccines FOREVER.
I never bothered with the yearly flu shot.
Never caught any flu since that started either.
Document for us where and when Fauci ever said Covid would be totally eradicated

That is not what he wants. Quit being so damn dishonest. He wants to end the pandemic, unlike you and other rightys.
He has already said it is not possible to 'end the pandemic'.
The only pandemic is the one manufactured by Democrats and liberals. You might as well call the common cold a 'pandemic'.
I've never had a Flu Shot either.
I had one. Caught the flu. Never again.
He wants to end the pandemic.
The flu "vaccines" are notoriously inefficacious.
