Dr. Fauci says the US is 'struggling' to get the coronavirus outbreak under control and Americans should prepare for the upcoming week 'to be a bad week.'

outbreak under control and warned Americans to prepare for the upcoming week"to be a bad week."

"So on the one hand, things are going to get bad and we need to be prepared for that," Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said."It's going to be shocking to some. It's certainly is really disturbing to see that. But that's what's going to happen before it turns around.

"I will not say we have it under control, that would be a false statement," he added."We are struggling to get it under control. And that's the issue that's at hand right now. The thing that's important is that what you see is increases in new cases which then start to flatten out." Fauci said that the death toll will lag behind a curbing of confirmed cases anywhere from one to two weeks or possibly longer.

"But the end result of that you don't see for days or weeks down the pipe because, as the cases go down, then you get less hospitalizations, less intensive care, and less death," Fauci said."So even though you're getting really an improvement in that the number of new cases are starting to flatten, the deaths will lag by one or two weeks or more.

Getting back to work is easy. Ask workers for their informed consent. The virus is spreading. You could get it if you come back to work. If you get it you could have serious health problems or die. Do you want to work knowing you could get sick and die? Yes? Ok back to work.

And what about all the other upcoming weeks? Can someone please nip this thing in the butt? Thank you!

As lo as you have Trump things wll be awful.

And yet every day the models continue to grossly over estimate what is actually happening, even in NY

It’s not just the coming week - it’s at least the whole of April (and in to May for some states)

Gloom and doom. Make sure you say,”and we’ll never recover!”

We need to control the stupid president in order to get virus under control

Dr Assumption and Dr Model are experts for talking about viruses not solving problems. They want to study, write reports, do models, present papers, join discussion groups, be interviewed for their opinions and never be questioned when they contradict themselves.

We know you tried to tell Trump , as usual he wouldn’t listen now Americans will pay the ultimate price.

Especially in those cities with communities who have been told for years that rules and laws should not apply to them. Now the media is making excuses for them by saying it's the density of population.

Well obviously letting ‘000s to church is not going to help.

The US is struggling more with Dr. Fauci’s draconian recommendations. I wish realDonaldTrump would fire him already.

Thank Dr Fauci.

Tell me, out of all the deaths how many were given Hydroxychloriquine? Break it down. What are you hiding?

How it will be any different than the past week is still not clear.

We hear the same thing every week. I hey are we not closer to national lockdown? Why are we speaking about restarting the economy when we have not come close to flattening the curve?

Struggling to keep the virus outbreak under control? Seriously ?Were we expecting any positive results doing nothing or almost nothing ? The politicians are too busy trying to please businesses and religious people . Zero possibility of success . 100 percent chances of blame

NBC, why don’t you show ALL of the UNDERWHELMED hospitals across the USA? Afraid it might expose your bias?

That’s what he said last week and the week before, all of this after telling us on 1/21 we had nothing to worry about. Time for this Gates puppet to go.

As bad as they tell you, it's worse. Only people confirmed to have virus by testing are inc in the s. People told: 'yeah, you probably have it, stay home & take care' or: 'yeah, your housemate has it, so you probably do too, stay home' are NOT included in those s

If only we had a president who cared

But wasn’t it them who told us last week was going to be a bad week? What a bunch of idiots.

💚😳😭😡 all my emotions

This is the guy to listen to. Not Trump, Kushner and the pillow guy

But he said that last week

South Korea is dealing with a second wave and America is not even close to dealing with the first wave.

because trump dismantled everything put in place by Obama to control this & then called it fake for 70 DAYS then tried to blame on government from 4 years ago & now just treating it like another of his failed shows with an idiot giving advice on health matters (2 idiots)

Probably the only solution the National lock down..

Trump's approach. 1) Build up a huge expectation of deaths, say 250K, 2) Blame others 4 the virus, the Chinese, the immigrants & Dems especially, 3) When the death tally comes in way lower, say 50K, brag that he heroically saved 200K lives, 4) reelection assured, or so he thinks

I am doing my part, but it is so frustrating to view scenes from grocery stores and subways in Manhattan where there is clearly ZERO social distancing. MSM needs to get on this. Either shut that crap down or quarantine that city.

He's Man not God . He can only do what he can do . But dont think that God didnt put him in his position for nothing . thomasdrayton drsanjaygupta Just as the 2 of the many listed Dr's. They are doing the best that they know what they are dealing with. Thank You

At the most crucial time of this century we have the worst leadership in place and our FederalGovernment continues to fail us Trump TrumpLiedPeopleDied TrumpPlague AllInThisTogether

Fauci: 'I don't understand' why all states are not under stay-at-home ordersAs of Friday, 39 states and Washington, D.C., were under stay-at-home orders while 11 states have not issued statewide stay-at-home orders. Alabama's Governor waited until more people died before doing the responsible thing and force the stay at home order. She knew weeks ago how to prevent this.
