Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Director Rochelle Walensky said she expects COVID-19 to become seasonal like influenza.

“I do anticipate that this is probably going to be a seasonal virus,” she told NBC News on Monday. Her comment appears to be her first public acknowledgment that CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus cases increase or drop depending on the season. COVID-19 is caused by the CCP virus.
