Dr. Anthony Fauci on Sunday morning estimated the US could see between 100,000 and 200,000 deaths.
‘We’re going to have millions of cases,’ he said, adding that he did not want to be held to that number because the pandemic is ‘such a moving target’.
As of Sunday morning, there were more than 123,000 positive cases, and more than 2,100 deaths in the US.
New York City remains the epicenter of the nation’s outbreak, with 30,765 cases and 672 deaths.
But very sad news came from Europe.
The Portuguese health minister says a 14-year-old boy with COVID-19 has died.
The Daily Mail reported that the teenager suffered from psoriasis, but had no major underlying health conditions He lived in Ovar, south of Porto, with his family, and died in the early hours of today.
Medics are said to have decided against transferring him to a hospital with a pediatric A&E unit because of the severity of his condition.
He has been confirmed as Portugal's youngest person to die from Covid-19 so far.
Portugal reported Sunday it has 119 total deaths from the virus and 38,042 infections.
This news comes after a healthy 16-year-old girl Julie Alliot died at a Paris hospital this week.
She had no underlying health conditions and was pronounced dead a week after developing 'a slight cough'.
Sad day, RIP boy!
Less than 1% death rate. That is good news.
WE got the filthy Chinese to Thank for this!
It’s just psoriasis, Bro.
One death, out of 7.7 billion people. Heck, more cattle have been mutilated by aliens in flying saucers.
Very shocked.
1.6%
It’s not too late to panic?!
Second it.
The Flu kills perfectly healthy people every year with no underlying conditions. No one ever stated that some perfectly healthy people would not succumb to this virus just that it is not any different than H1N1 when NOTHING was done even though the same CDC warning and guidance was issued.
Have a heart man?
We got a body count to work, you got no spirit.
Parents should sue. He’d be alive today had the used hydroxychloriquine
Have you been listening again to “Coast to Coast AM?
Bears repeating!
No underlying health condition except psoriasis
Eh... God rest his soul...psoriasis is an underlying health condition A self conscious teen
He was on meds. The side effects of which exacerbated the symptoms of this virus
Until proven otherwise.
We are warned to stay off Motrin.
Only Congress, and Nancy Pelosi, can save us from the pandemic. And that, my friends is the real reason to panic.
China is pretty much ruled by its military.
Fauci makes a dire prediction but says don’t hold him to it.
The guy is a slippery bureaucrat.
If he knows anything he’s not courageous enough to state it.
So, he had an autoimmune disease. If they don’t consider that an underlying condition or comorbidity then they apparently don’t know what they are doing.
What about Alieve?
