Fauci says US could have 'millions' of coronavirus cases and over 100,000 deaths
Dr. Anthony Fauci, one of the faces of the Trump administration's coronavirus task force, on Sunday warned that the novel coronavirus could infect millions of people in the United States and account for more than 100,000 deaths.
Speaking on CNN's "State of the Union," Fauci said that, based on what he's seeing, the U.S. could experience between 100,000 and 200,000 deaths from Covid-19.
"We're going to have millions of cases," Fauci, the head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said, noting that projections are subject to change, given that the disease's outbreak is "such a moving target."
The novel coronavirus, which first appeared in China in December, has infected more than 124,000 people in the U.S. and accounted for more than 2,000 deaths, according to a Johns Hopkins University database. The U.S. has reported the most confirmed cases of the virus worldwide.
The outbreak has upended everyday life, causing a mass closure of businesses and schools as federal and state officials enforce measures designed to slow the spread of the disease. Areas such as the New York metropolitan area have been hit particularly hard, producing concerns about a surge in patients overwhelming its health care system.
Fauci has continually called for social-distancing requirements to remain in place for an extended period of time. He said Sunday that lifting those restrictions would depend on the availability of testing kits that will be able to confirm a diagnosis within about 15 minutes.
"It’s going to be a matter of weeks. It’s not going to be tomorrow and it’s certainly not going to be next week," he said.
