Americans should brace for a “surge upon a surge” in the coronavirus as millions of travelers return home after the Thanksgiving holiday, AFP reported while quoting US government scientist Anthony Fauci.

“There almost certainly is going to be an uptick because of what has happened with the travel,” Fauci told CNN's State of the Union. “We may see a surge upon a surge” in two or three weeks, he added.

“We don't want to frighten people, but that's the reality.”

This was an ominous trend, with the Christmas holidays and more year-end travel looming, Fauci added.
