Fauci predicts 100,000 new COVID-19 cases per day if US can't control outbreaks
The Hill ^ | 6/30/20 | Jessie Hellman

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.”

This flu lasts roughly two weeks. It's been well over two weeks since hundreds of employees at a pork processing facility in S. (N.?) Dakota and hundreds of employees (every single one of them!) at a Tyson chicken processing plant caught the flu. How many of them died? How many are currently on respirators? How many have returned to work?

It's as if these stories never existed.

The virus has spread and so has COVID19.

Anthony Fauci is an incompetent ass. I don’t care if he turns on the President, it’s time to fire him.

This man belongs in the pantheon of fools.

We know this much- it has nothing to do with all those protests. The media has told us so...

They admitted the actual infection rate is 10 times higher then previously believed.

So this is no big deal, even if true.

I agree that Fauci is correct. Because you can be sure that tomorrow he will issue a statement that goes against what he said today. So yes, he will always be correct.

Ooh, a prediction. If he’s wrong, will he retire in shame?

He has nothing to worry about. He used the weasel words “if” and “control”.

FauXi lied to push his US paid-for illegal
ATROCITY to forever taint human DNA.

FauXi did this for Pelosi, Xi, Soros, Gates, WHO,
and his bank account.

Do you like your training Burqae, yet?

Cases? So what? As long as the death rate stays low.

“If”, “Could”, “May”
All hypotheticals.
Somebody put a sock in this guy’s mouth already.
He always seems to be predicting the worst possible outcome.

“Fauci declined to estimate potential COVID-19 deaths when pressed by Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.)”

Yes, because the deaths are what matter for comparison.

Testing so many leads to a large number of positive tests - all called cases.

But we know that the vast majority who get infected don’t get sick or have no serious illness.

So widespread testing is causing more cases.

Everyone knows this but it is never even mentioned by Fauci or in articles like this.

And, yesterday what state still had the most deaths?

New York.

Cases vs Deaths

All we hear about, cases,cases and more cases.
Due to testing,testing and more testing

What if everyone has the crap and no one dies?

Peaceful protests do not spread the KungFlu because of science and stuff.
