| Anthony S. Fauci, the nation's top infectious-diseases expert, gave the dire warning in a Senate committee hearing held as coronavirus infections surge in many parts of the United States.
"We are now having 40-plus thousand new cases a day. I would not be surprised if we go up to 100,000 a day if this does not turn around. And so I am very concerned," Fauci said in response to questioning from Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) on what the overall U.S. death toll is likely to be. |
