Fauci predicts 100,000 new COVID-19 cases per day if US can't control outbreaks

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.”

>>Is Fauci really a scientist or a hack?<<
.
He is no scientist. Scientists don’t speak of “flattening the corve” The curve can be expressed as a math function but no function was ever found. They could have taken the derivative of the function and set it eaqual to 0 and found the max value of the function, etc, etc, NO need for me to expand on the subject — drinking awesome bourbon and thinking of my days at Auburn U and the pretty sorority birds. WAR EAGLE! No, Faw Xi he no scientist he.
