After Curry asked Dr Fauci 'When will sports return?', he asked everyone to observe the 'trajectory of the curve start to come down'. He mentioned the coronavirus situation in China, where the cases had to increase before coming down again. The same case was observed in South Korea as well. While Europe is currently at the top of that curve, the USA is yet to reach there. According to Dr Fauci, since the United States has many different regions, it will take some time for the situation to normalize. Once the curve starts to come down, they will be able to pinpoint cases rather than getting overwhelmed by the number of people infected.
