Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation's top infectious disease expert, didn't see his daughters at Thanksgiving and said he likely won't be celebrating in-person with them at Christmas, either.

Millions of Americans altered their Thanksgiving plans because of the new coronavirus pandemic and Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, foresees the same being true for Christmas and the New Year.

America still leads in cases of COVID-19 and officials across the country urged people to refrain from gathering for Thanksgiving in an effort to combat further spikes. While vaccines are on the horizon it's likely to be months before they're widely distributed, and Fauci warned that without a significant drop in cases, Christmas and New Year's are likely to look similar to Thanksgiving.

"If the surge takes a turn of continuing to go up and you have the sustained greater than 100,000 infections a day and 1,300 deaths per day and the count keeps going up and up ... I don't see it being any different during the Christmas and New Year's holidays than during Thanksgiving," Fauci toldDr.
