Anthony Fauci, the nation’s top infectious disease expert, warned members of Congress on Monday that the U.S. could reach 100,000 new COVID-19 cases per day if the country does not get a handle on the pandemic.
Speaking before the Senate health committee, Fauci said the country is heading in the “wrong direction as the average number of daily cases continues to go up.
“We’re going in the wrong direction if you look at the curves of the new cases,” said Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. “We need to do something about that and we need to do it very quickly.”
The U.S. is now recording 40,000 new cases per day, surpassing previous records set in April when New York was the epicenter of the outbreak.
Now outbreaks in Texas, Arizona, Florida and California account for 50 percent of new infections in the U.S.
Fauci stressed that the U.S. can’t just focus on those four states because outbreaks there "puts the entire country at risk."
Fauci declined to estimate potential COVID-19 deaths when pressed by Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), but said the situation is “going to be very disturbing, I will guarantee you that because when you have an outbreak in one part of the country, even though in other parts of the country they're doing well, they are vulnerable.”

Hes a DEMOCRAT COUP PLOTTER! GO AWAY YOU FRAUD
Legalize HCQ
So what. a case is nothing. Deaths are what matter. They are dropping like a prom dress.
“”””””Fauci said the country is heading in the “wrong direction as the average number of daily cases continues to go up. “””””””””
Does it have anything to do with a massive increase in testing by any chance?
Once again, let’s see the reporting on deaths and hospitalization of severe cases.
“WOW, Another Coincidence… Trump announced earlier this month he would hold rallies in Texas, Arizona, North Carolina and Florida…. Now, these are the states with highest increases in covid infections.”

So he’s been in charge of strategy for the past 3 months, did he say what he did wrong?
Fauci is Deep State and they’re doing all they can to slow down re-opening and recovery. It’s all to hurt Trump.
A new prediction from Dr. Fauci published in the Hill. What could possibly go wrong?
Somebody shut this fraud up.
Fearpers will rejoice tho.
And 90% of those cases will be symptom free and most of the remaining 10% will only have mild symptoms for a few days. It’s the flu.
Looks like Fedzilla may be paying for observational status for WuFlu patients.
If so, even the hospitalization stats may be crap.
One step closer to herd immunity
Omygosh. Isn’t that what he predicted at the beginning of all this and then later retracted?
Not sure what constitutes a new “case”. Someone testing positive for the virus and seriously ill, or just testing positive? Based on the falling death count versus rising numbers of “cases” bringing the percentages into bad seasonal flu territory, along with near empty ICU’s and emptying nursing homes, my guess is the latter.
I agree with Fauci. Things need to change and I am hoping most people are starting to get the message in the southern and western states. If we want to keep the economy open, practice social distancing, wash hands, don’t touch your face and wear a mask indoors in case you have the disease and don’t know it.
It’s pretty simple.
This moron has to go.
The lies being spouted are an attempt to overthrow this Republic.
I won’t ever wear a mask.
Fauci is the most dangerous fraud in the country.
The virus is quickly becoming little more than a common cold. He will NEVER admit that scientific fact.
