The nation's leading infectious diseases expert, said Tuesday that as many as 400,000 Americans could die from COVID-19 if action isn’t taken in the fall and winter.
Fauci told attendees of a virtual event held by American University that between 300,000 and 400,000 could die from coronavirus in the country.
“The models tell us if we don't do what we need to in the fall and winter, we could have 300,000-400,000 COVID-19 deaths," American University quoted the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases as saying.
Fauci’s prediction goes beyond a University of Washington study from August that said as many as 300,000 people could die of COVID-19 by Dec. 1.
As of Wednesday morning, the U.S. has recorded 210,918 deaths and more than 7.5 million confirmed infections of COVID-19, according to data from Johns Hopkins University.
Fauci also asserted on Tuesday that a vaccine will probably not be available to most Americans until next summer or the fall, aligning with Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Robert Redfield’s Senate testimony last month. Fauci said during an event on Monday that this means life may not return to normal until the end of next year.
At the American University virtual event, Fauci acknowledged the decreasing trust in him as a public official, especially among Republicans and those who believe the country needs to reopen fully.
"Maybe 50 percent of you hate me because you think I'm trying to destroy the country, but listen to me for six weeks or so, and do what I say, and you'll see the numbers go down," Fauci pleaded, according to the university.

The FauXi goals:
Flatten the economy.
Stop the spread of Trumpism
Eliminate FREEDOM.
didn’t he also say 2.2 million people could die... but they didn’t
Is fauci afraid he will die of covid? If not why?
Old rumor was “The insiders say Fauci is out. Not in frontline staff for Covid. No longer in pressers. Hasn’t been seen for days. Won’t be in WH announcement sessions.”
Darn it, he’s back again and again acting like someone begged for his opinion.
Like What About Bob with Bill Murray.
“The models tell us if we don’t do what we need to in the fall and winter, we could have 300,000-400,000 COVID-19 deaths,
No mention of what we have to do.
The media begs for his “wisdom” as if he is the smartest guy in the room.
I will say they talk to him because he comes across as the folksy professor they had in college. But he doesn’t put the “responsibilities” on people. He always suggests “government” needs to do stuff.
That is interpreted as “science.” Whereas, this disease has always been tolerated well by people under 75. But, no one wants to hear THAT science!
Protect the weak. Treat the sick aggressively.
But, don’t hide otherwise. Do the normal stuff we are supposed to do every winter. We will be fine.
I believe the number is higher than that. You shortchange yourself.
The idiot who cried wolf. Wish he would shut up.
You speak with wisdom and measured facts-—don’t you know that will never catch on? /S
“could”, “could”, “could”
are we shore Fauci does not mean “hopefully”?
Fauci.... prediction...
hahahahahahahahahahaha
As someone posted on another thread, “Fauci should know. He invented it.”
Now if only he could find that guy with the “cleaning” cloth at PDJT’s podium before the debate... He could get that number up to 400K.
The idiot who cried wolf. Wish he would shut up.
I know right. I got banned at the start for three days arguing this exact position. It’s hilarious how things change.
LOCK this communist POS up!!!!
“400,000 Americans could die from COVID-19
3,300 Americans will die from abortions today
So, how about that?”
The difference is that the 3,300 CAN’T VOTE; IF THEY COULD THERE WOULD BE NO ABORTIONS.
Why? Is that how many died in Sweden where they took hardly any action at all? Nope-
Are they counting on the Flu to boost their numbers?
Low infos eat this sh*t up and will vote accordingly. The campaign ads and literature are all geared to the fear and handling of Corona......by Trump because it's all his fault don't you know!
” if we ...” send infected people into every long term, elderly care facility.
Reputable models say 250,000 deaths currently- by year’s end.
