Fauci says U.S. coronavirus outbreak is ‘going to be very disturbing,’ could top 100,000 cases a day

The U.S. is not in total control of the coronavirus pandemic and daily new cases could surpass 100,000 new infections per day if the outbreak continues at its current pace, White House health advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci said Tuesday.

The country is now reporting nearly 40,000 new coronavirus cases every day  almost double from about 22,800 in mid-May  driven largely by outbreaks in a number of states across the South and West. Fauci said about 50% of all new cases are coming from four states: Florida, California, Texas and Arizona.

Evidently they’re mostly milder cases though. That’s sort of good news.
