A version of this story appeared in the April 2 edition of CNN's Coronavirus: Fact vs. Fiction newsletter. "We're concerned that [cases have] plateaued at a high level, an unacceptably high level," Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, told NBC on Thursday. "Everybody, including myself, has some degree of Covid-19 fatigue, but the thing we try and emphasize is that this will end." "We need to hold out just a bit longer and give vaccines a chance to really get the upper hand in this." On Thursday, Michigan also reported its first case of a variant that was originally found in Brazil.
