While new coronavirus infections in United States are reportedly numbering between 40,000 and 50,000 in a single day, Fauci ted that it is a “b place to be” especially when wear is going to get cooler in fall and colder in winter. US top infectious disease expert said that percent of people who are testing positive for COVID-19 is also going in wrong direction.

In televised interview, Dr Anthony Fauci said, “So you combine an increase in test positivity, which is always a predictor of more cases, and ultimately more hospitalizations, and ultimately more deaths, and you combine that with a baseline of 40, 45, 50,000 new cases a day as you go into a wear system where you're going to be spending more time indoors rar than outdoors, which is a perfect setup for an acceleration of respiratory-borne diseases — that is unquestionably a problem.”
