Former White House Coronavirus Response Task Force coordinator Dr. Deborah Birx told CBS on Sunday morning that the US should prepare for a probable summer surge of Covid-19 cases throughout Southern states. Summer surges are now expected in the South, while winter surges are expected in the North, especially around the holidays, according to Birx. Birx said she pays close attention to statistics coming out of South Africa, where new Covid-19 cases have lately increased. “Each of these peaks occurs every four to six months. “That tells me about that natural immunity in the general population wanes enough after four to six months — that a major increase will happen again,” Birx said on “Face the Nation.”
