According to the best infectious doctor of the nation, infections will be more than double.
The number of new coronavirus daily infections continues to increase and, according to Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of Niaid and one of the main forces on the Coronavirus working group, the number will continue to increase at a disturbing rate. During his testimony from Tuesday in front of the Senate, Elizabeth Warren asked him if his first estimates surrounding coronavirus infections and deaths had been modified because we are already well in the 100,000 to 200,000 ranges of death due to the virus - And what he had to say was a alarming frightening.
"I can not make a precise prediction, but it will be very disturbing," admitted Dr. Faisci. "The whole country is at risk."
Could go up to 100,000 cases a day
