Dr. Anthony Fauci, speaking on CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday, offered his prognosis as the federal government weighs rolling back guidelines on social distancing in areas that have not been hard-hit by the outbreak at the conclusion of the nationwide 15-day effort to slow the spread of the virus.
“I would say between 100,000 and 200,000 cases,” he said, correcting himself to say he meant deaths. “We’re going to have millions of cases.” But he added “I don’t want to be held to that” because the pandemic is “such a moving target.”
Wow, even I wasn’t that pessimistic. 100,000 would really surprise me. We’re at 2,000 at the rate that the virus is doubling has slowed, I thought.

& No not ignorant here we need to follow Doctors & governments guidelines to the T. But please fear is a greater killer then anything. ה’ ירחם
Hashem save us from this terrible Magafa.
Dr you’re scaring everyone.
Let’s hope he’s so wrong.
A doctor has no right to predict demise. Fauci is becomig full of himself with polite but noticeable arrogance.
Fsuci was upset when Trump calledCorona, Chinese. It’s time for Fauci to go , but quick.
