Dr. Anthony Fauci said on CNN that while a "Second wave" of coronavirus infections "Could happen," another outbreak is "Not inevitable."
Fauci's comments came days after he told CNBC that stay-at-home orders intended to curb the spread of the coronavirus could end up causing "Irreparable damage" if imposed for too long.
"I don't want people to think that any of us feel that staying locked down for a prolonged period of time is the way to go," Fauci said during an interview Friday with CNBC's Meg Tirrell on "Halftime Report."
Fauci also threw cold water on any hope that hydroxychloroquine could prove the "Miracle drug" some claimed it to be.
Fauci said Wednesday that "The lack of efficacy" for anti-malaria drug hydroxychloroquine, which has been touted by Trump as a game-changer against the coronavirus, is clear.
Fauci seemed even more optimistic about a possible vaccine by January.
We have a good chance-if all the things fall in the right place-that we might have a vaccine that would be deployable by the end of the year, by November-December," Dr. Fauci said on CNN Wednesday morning.
