The US top infectious disease expert said on Thursday he is growing increasingly concerned with the number of coronavirus infections in the United States as cases grow at an unprecedented rate even after months of lockdowns, The Hill reports.
Speaking a day after the country confirmed more than 50,000 new cases of coronavirus in a single 24-hour period, Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), said younger people are now accounting for a much greater share of the pandemic.
"I think it's pretty obvious, Howard, that we are not going in the right direction," Fauci was quoted as having said in an interview with Howard Bauchner, editor-in-chief of the Journal of the American Medical Association.
"We need to realize that if we do not adhere to the guidelines as we're trying to open, and I don't mean officially, I mean the citizenry, the people that are out there, we're going to be in some serious difficulty," he added.
Fauci pointed to Arizona, California, Florida and Texas, four states that have accounted for about half the new cases in the country this year. Hospital systems in Arizona and Texas are beginning to report they are running out of bed space for patients, while hospitalizations are rising in other parts of the country.
Those mass outbreaks, he warned, threaten to overwhelm even areas that have the virus under control.

Damn GOOD idea Cowboy Bob!
If that were suggested as being a serious approach this virus panic would be shutdown IMMEDIATELY by the LIBERAL MSM and Dimms.
This federal leech has zero credibility.
But they might infect grandma. So quarantine grandma!
Can’t wait for the Unmasking of Fauci. Deep State all the way. He should be held down and forced to take the vaccine.
FRAUD FAUCI needs to be EXPOSED for the DEMOCRAT COUP PLOTTER he IS.
No place has opened “too soon.”
For us to get herd immunity, we were told by Fauci and Bricks that we were “Flattening the Curve.” This means most all will get it, but at a pace “hospitals could handle.” We are still well under what hospitals can handle. More elective surgeries are being done, filling up beds, while hospitals are being more willing to take COVID-19 positive patients. ICUs aren’t fill, but normal beds have more occupancy.
We are fine. Protect the at risk people, voluntarily, but allow everyone else to do the same. Don’t mandate.
‘It’s out of control in TX.’
you’re full of crap; sorry, but it’s early in the morning, and this kind of bs is what’s keeping this horse hockey going...
you should book yourself on the View...
Well, what direction would he prefer? Sending everyone to Space in separate rockets?
I have lost faith in Dr Fauci. Big Time.
‘Trump’s silence on this stupid bug is getting old!’
if Trump wishes to lose the election right now, he would get rid of Fauci; as it is, he stands to lose anyhow, and this little bug, which amounts to the sniffles for the majority of the infected, will be the deadliest weapon...
but, listen to Rush Limbaugh; he assures us Trump wins in a landslide...
That’s funny.
Yep we’re all a basket of deplorably simple-minded morons who must listen to our conservative intelligentsia to be able to make up our own minds.
I’m still trying to figure out what lockdowns have to do with COVID 19. It has everything to do with shutting down the country.
This guy has a string coming out of his back. Pull it and he produces a Democrat sound bite.
Nothing is out of control in Texas. The issue is death rates and they are still dropping! The beds being filled are from the backlog of elective surgeries.
Trump will win in a landslide, this virus is running it’s course and the American People are moving on from it.
Wrong direction? Does Fauxci want the deaths to be going up?
We must discover his true name. Is it Rumplestiltskin?
Of course. If it’s not CNN telling us what to think, it must be somebody./s
He is playing his assigned role in the ongoing coup against the president and universal mRNA and tracking against the American people.
He is not just flighty—he is criminal and evil.
