Dr. Anthony Fauci tells Congress new coronavirus cases could reach 100,000 a day without changes

WASHINGTON – New coronavirus infections could increase to 100,000 a day if the nation doesn’t get the ongoing surge under control, Dr. Anthony Fauci told Congress Tuesday.

"We’ve really got to do something about that and we need to deal with it quickly," he testified. "It could get very bad."

Fauci, the top infectious disease expert at the National Institutes of Health, said the surge has been caused both by some areas reopening too quickly and by people not following guidelines.

“We've got to get that message out that we are all in this together,” Fauci told the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee. “And if we are going to contain this, we've got to contain it together.”

The government plans to deal with the problem by ignoring that it exists. That is called leadershit.

we don't have a "together" anymore, or leadership, and we won't have either as long as a Trump is in the people's house for anything other than a guided tour.

i think we've lost this fight

novel coronavirus is going to infect 3/4 of the American population and kill a million of us before a safe vaccine becomes widely available

on the up-side, this is an important learning opportunity. we are providing a mountain of useful epidemiological data. when someone responsible takes over, maybe we can optimize how we handle the next pandemic.
