Dr. Anthony Fauci says U.S. will have “millions of cases” of COVID-19 and more than 100,000 deaths. Fauci, the head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease, is the U.S. government’s foremost infectious disease expert.

pandemic. The new coronavirus causes mild or moderate symptoms for most people. For some, especially older adults and people with existing health problems, it can cause more severe illness or death.— Governor of Louisiana warns the coronavirus could soon overwhelm state’s health care system— Fauci warns U.S. will have “millions of cases” of COVID-19 and more than 100,000 deathsWASHINGTON -- U.S.

Edwards said on ABC’s “This Week” that Louisiana is on a trajectory to overwhelm its health care system and will need more ventilators by the end of the first week of April. He says the state will be out of hospital beds several days into April. Murphy said New Jersey is getting some of the PPEs it needs but is still short of ventilators. He said he had a “very specific conversation” with the White House about ventilators and made clear receiving more is the state’s top priority.MOSCOW — The Russian capital has deployed trucks equipped with loudspeakers to broadcast a message discouraging Muscovites from using parks and asking them to stay at home.

Fauci says he would only support the rollback in lesser-impacted areas if there is enhanced availability of testing in place to monitor those areas. He acknowledged “it’s a little iffy there” right now.LISBON, Portugal — The Portuguese health minister says a 14-year-old boy with COVID-19 has died. Authorities said the boy had prior health conditions.

The Health Ministry says it will allow the passage because of the health risks to passengers aboard the Zaandam. No passengers or crew will be allowed to disembark and the timing of the transit wasn’t immediately clear. Panamanian officials initially denied the ships transit for health reasons.

Your post was right on. And the number of cases is still climbing.

toots717 According to know who he's his own expert on everything.

I'm sure Fauci will soon be fired as Trump doesn't accept people communicating the reality:

edeweysmith I respect the scientists Dr.Fauci and he colleagues ,but I pray to GOD that this isn't so.😭🙏🙏🙏

Fahaddurraniii

What model is predicating these outrageous number of predicted deaths? Is every death now labeled a COVID-19 death? What happened to all cause mortality.

benshapiro And why is this alarming? Out of how many? Why does the MSM never post the how many overall tested, how many overall? It would show the lopsided ratio and would relieve the citizens from fear BUT that is not what the MSM wants!

But yet he will not tell the people to wear Mask! Are the people that stupid to wait for this man to give the US premission to die. Wear Mask and Gloves. He wants more people to die. What is he not telling us!

I heard Fauci say many things!

benshapiro What? The press is being negative, and trying to spread more fear in people? That’s just crazy.

When will some doctor talk about the root cause of this virus & most other pandemics-animal agriculture! Don't blame China for their wet markets when our CAFOs are filthy, disease-producing businesses. Time for doctors & newscasters to tell people to stop eating meat & dairy!

BretBaier Didn't he say this was worst case?

He is lying by omission.

Almost as if planned!

benshapiro Didn’t he say that was a worst-case scenario?(not certain: just saw a video clip on the news that described it has him giving a worst-case scenario.)

COULD HAVE....COULD HAVE...just deliver the news instead of painting a narrative....this is why people have lost all respect for the media

Trump n the entire republicans pundits was talking shit u remember Kung flu, n the virus will disappear like magic men u shd hear the talking points on Fox.this administration had enough time to take preemptive action 🤔now makeshifts hospital is being setup in Central Park NY.

I’m sure he’s being paid by the Democrats to spread his propaganda. 60.8 million had H1N1 in America we never shut anything down then.

So why does the media keeps telling the numbers of people that are going to get it and die when they never tell the numbers of the people who have got and got over it. Dr. Fauci must be a Democrat

RealCandaceO said: The Corona doomsday cult refuses all questions about the flu because “IT’S NOT THE FLU, BRO!” We are simply asking why 730,000 flu hospitalizations + 62,000 flu deaths & 54 MILLION positive diagnoses since October, did not overwhelm our hospitals.

Dr. Fauci was confusing me but, it's clear now. Dr. Fauci, seems to be an alarmists or he is operating with ulterior motives. He is not helping. Is he a FEAR MONGER in a celebrity quest? FEAR SELLS. Who is he speaking for? Who he actually represents? Who is paying him?

BretBaier When Doctors predicts an outcome, they thinking with thier head under the sand!! You can not believe anything the news says TODAY! People are not stupid like they think we are!!

BretBaier Listen to the experts not CNN or MSNBC.

I don’t trust Dr. Fauci!

BretBaier But Fox said it was a hoax & fraud & scam. Despicable.

And trump says less then 200,000 deaths is not only acceptable but a job well done. 😡

benshapiro Nice job fear mongering. Bravo!

You’ll have more than that if you keep it shutdown a month Riots begin in less than 2 weeks People need to work. Welcome to the new world People won’t stand for that kind of control

JohnMoralesNBC6 And regrettably he is going to get fired for stating this fact.

BretBaier I c watched news conference and that is not a correct statement because completely out of context. He was discussing a range of possibilities.

benshapiro Fauci is also a Fool

That is so over the top. Re-open America

BretBaier Dr. Fauci comes off as the classic “bad cop” in this crisis. And guess who’s the “good cop?”

BretBaier They are using models to predict the spread and deaths. Well they did it in the UK 500g & 100g deaths. They had to refigure this time 100g and 2000g deaths. And it will probably be lowered again. You can’t trust modeling it’s like climate change. Nobody can guess the outcome.

BretBaier Can anyone tell me why we barely had an emergency declared for swine and bird flu, with hundreds of thousands infected and tens of thousands dead in US? Shutting the economy was never even mentioned!! We need to fully understand this anomaly!!

BretBaier And then he continued to explain ... those are the numbers *without considering mitigation*

I'm praying he's wrong.

The Communist Party is a hooligan regime and a representative of evil

BretBaier Could ...

BretBaier Based on a model that is educated speculation which is going to change every few days. Hysteria needs to stop.

BretBaier Could have not will have. !!!!

BS. The numbers are unknowable and to portray anything else is dumb.

, you should watch the live show to see what was said. Your version is dishonest.

BretBaier They said that Issa what threw models say. However, those same models said 2 million dead not more than a few weeks ago. Like Dr. Brix and Dr. Fauci said, these models can change daily add the data changes. The 100k is only if we stay on the present course.

BretBaier That is not exactly what was said...

BretBaier Nope. Don’t think so.

Thank you, Mr. President! These are hard times and hard decisions.

BretBaier As usual, AP. You don't know WHAT the fk you are talking about. You did not put the question being responded-to. LAME-STREAM MEDIA STRIKES AGAIN !! MORE YELLOW JOURNALISM AT ITS FINEST !!

BretBaier He said 'may have' not will

BretBaier Fauci is lying

BretBaier Lie

BretBaier And Donald Trump said if that happens he will have done a good job.

BretBaier Please stop with this BS reporting! You fail to mention the context of what he said. Damn! You people are annoying!

BretBaier How long before the MSM starts complaining that he should have opened everything up by Easter. They are never satisfied with anything he does.

BretBaier Harry and his bride should read Clause 8 of the constitution .

BretBaier What an inaccurate and purposely misleading headline. He said it was possible foe this to happen. He dis not say it would happen. Surprised you would knowingly retweet this garbage Bret.

BretBaier He said that is worse case scenario if we do nothing? We are taking 45 days of social distancing which let’s hope should mitigate substantially the number of cases?

BretBaier Jesus Christ. He said UP TO. As in he gave a range. This is pathetically irresponsible. But you got clicks right ?

BretBaier Someone please press Dr. Fauci for the data and an explanation of his analysis in arriving at that projection. Nothing I've read, seen or heard would make that seem realistic. He's likely off by an order of magnitude, but he's given a mic and a pass.

BretBaier Bret you were manipulated. Keep better track. You are better than this. He did not say what the AP is saying in their tweet. You are wrong to retweet the misinformation. He said..... “could.” Not “will.” Words have meaning.

BretBaier Worst case scenario, and could. Get it right.

BretBaier Wasn’t the CDC = CENTER for DESEASE CONTROL Not model or prepare for a pandemic or emergency. They seem to be completely caught off guard and bewildered. Just watched Contagion (movie is about 11 years old) 🤔🤔

BretBaier This should be annotated with *based on model runs from statistically insufficient data. Please consult experts in 'big data' in addition to medical experts before reporting such a flagrant unsupportable claim.

BretBaier So what happened to the 1m+ experts were predicting less than a week ago?

BretBaier Fauci is twisting your melon POTUS. Check out filmingyourhospitals in Louisiana . Hospitals empty.

BretBaier He didn’t say will have, he said “could” have; there is a difference!

All of them on tRump every last citizen .

this is an insanely low estimate, a lot of projections i've seen have been assuming that, optimistically, only about 20% of the population is infected total

DS Fauci is wrong. Our President will do everything within his power to protect the American people from the attack. NotDoneWinning DeepStateLoseAgain

He’s not wrong.

stayhome

Not what he said at all

benshapiro He said it is “very, very unlikely”!!!!!

Wait so it’s not just the flu?

He is the head (or politician) of one of NIH institutes, not the most renewed scientist in the field of infection. We need to follow the advices from world renewed scientists in this country, who actually predict less numbers of death. Keep social distance, no panicking.

That’s not what he said

Still think it’ll only be 0.1% of the population elonmusk fraudboy?

'Could see' 100,000 deaths according to your own link. Not 'will have' 100,000 deaths.

😳🤔🙏🏾😳🤔🙏🏾😳🤔🙏🏾😳😳🙏🏾🤔😳🙏🏾

Really?

What is wrong with you? That’s a misquote. That’s what could happen if we did nothing. Fire your reporter.

He said those numbers are in the absence of the mitigation actions they are taking thru April 30th.

Stop reporting this as truth! Dr. Fauci just stated these numbers are a POSSIBILITY, but with the mitigation being done, he doesn't see these numbers happening. Stop scaring people!

Who can say that Dr. Fauci is not right when the death rate is rising exponentially every day. He is the expert and the only qualified to tell us the truth.

I listen to Dr Fauci!

Example 1 of why AP is just wrong

JoelCRosenberg Fake news

Those numbers are no where in this article. And he was talking about best and worse case scenarios.

I pray you are wrong.

If things continue the way they are currently going, we will have 'millions of deaths', not 100,000's...

Thanks Trump.

Dr. Fauci = Globalist Doctor Death

edeweysmith Right 🧐🧐🧐

p_hannam

Key word 'could'.

Funny how you omitted the “could” and “possible” from your report.

benshapiro Yeah, if we keep letting Fauci slow walk this every step of the way. He slow walked the test & now the treatments. I think it is time for an audit to see if big pharma is paying him to hold out for a more profitable drug.

This little guy has an agenda.

Hundred thousand deaths, we are shutting down the entire world economy for 100,000 deaths in the US?

He said 100,000-200,000...and that was the first drip in the drip...drip...drip...of inconvenient news...let's get prepared for a worse reality...

RobertAlai Too bad. People should heed to the Government's Instructions in every country. It is for the benefit of the citizens. sanitize StayAtHomeChallenge StayAtHomeAndStaySafe

The only way this happens is if the deep state released another virus. Watch for it. They have already played out two false flags. One is OK and 2 in NC.

I’m lost on numbers and who to believe. People in authority got to get on same page really!? All is see is a few deaths. Of course we should be weary but there’s no room for fear mongering. People will get sick, unfortunately people will die, sad, Keep ourcivil liberty alone

He said could not will

That isn't what he said. He did say there 'could' be millions of cases and there may not be. He said there 'could' be more than 100K deaths, but there might not be too. AP, you need to get it accurately. He spoke of possibles, not for sures. And he specifically explained that!

Every year 50 million Americans come down with flu and up to 70,000 die per year from the flu. So this Coronavirus May kill 100,000 - 200,000 Americans? I’m sure I’m missing something here but that at high estimate is 3 times as bad and at the low end not much worse than flu?

So if this is still the prediction with the measures we have already taken, we will never be able to leave our homes for months......either tell us all you know and let us start to fend for ourselves or cut this bullshit fear mongering.

dfaraldo Mother Earth letting us know we need to curb the population; she works in mysterious but obvious ways...

How will we know how many? The +'s are people feeling the worst...we aren't close testing everyone who has some symptom.

ABC6NEWS I seriously doubt ap is telling the truth here.

benshapiro I was just at Home Depot with my mask and 300-400 people there with no mask and no social distancing. We have no chance in hell of containing this. A lot of kids there too. American arrogance is going to kill a lot of people here.

This is BULL! Well known doc in NY & increasingly all over the world, now using protocol of Hydroxychloroquine, Azithromycin & Zinc Sulfate. Its rapidly improving critical Covid-19 patients..NY Gov. Cuomo has ordered trial of this - death rate will soon plummet! Check it: -

Forecast of corona virus death counts using Python, FB Prophet linear regression and John Hopkins data. Based on the existing death trend minus epidemiology factors. Fauci says 100,000 to 200,000 in the U.S. could die which is in range. 1.7-2.2 million U.S. deaths was too high.

This is unacceptable number compared to China’s population. We should immediately quarantine and lockdown completely areas with high number of cases to prevent the spread of the virus as China did. I know it is a political suicide but human lives are so precious.

CalebJHull We lost more in WW1 and 2...

Oh oh did he clear that with bone head realDonaldTrump POTUS

Delete this and your fear mongering headline.

POTUS shut down flights from China in January despite WHO tweeting this. Stop playing politics.

JenniferJJacobs Although every death is heartbreaking, this is far lower than initial estimates. Thank God. Hoping this decreases even further as antiviral therapies become available.

benshapiro He said worst case scenario this might happen holy shit the fear mongering in this tweet is unreal

WEARING HOMEMADE MASKS IN PUBLIC SLOWS THE SPREAD 1) Make a homemade mask 2) Take a Selfie 3) Post with Masks4All 34 scientific papers plus tips and tricks for making your own at

I think the death toll will not exceed 10,000..

OMG, he is a moron just like you guys and that Pelosi. It is such an exaggeration to help you keep up with the number of clicks.

benshapiro Isn’t this the same Dr Fauci that wrote love letters to Hillary? The little man that used to stand next to Trump?

Why did you not include the whole quote? What the fuck is wrong with you?

benshapiro Don’t you love Fauci? He is always so uplifting.

😞

BluesCityJoe 😐

Did he say “will” or “could.. if ppl continue to ignore quarantine.. say NYC ppl moving to other states 🤷🏻‍♀️

I call bullshit

Crazy realDonaldTrump

'Georgia first' in leading the way toward this catastrophe.

Fauci is an estimable man and a hero but he needs to listen to Dr Birx and stop sharing guesstimates w the press. Save it for the TF discussions. Media never has context or things like all of the different cases. They want disaster stories aNd this doesn’t help..

As the governor of CA stated recently in a letter to the POTUS, 55% of the population will actually catch C-19. So the C-19 mortality is going to be 0.098% ? Approx 2M people die per year in US.. so talking about a 5% spike. So 3.1M people unemployed for a 5% spike?

👍

Yes, it would IF he got his and Bill Gates' way! We say NO to these globalists' agenda. We say NO to their faulty testing and we sure say NO to their virus. Keep your immunity up, people.

AmericanPapist Dr Mengele Fauci is the same 'expert' who said the terrorist who currently heads the WHO is 'a great guy.'

I’m not saying that COVID-19 doesn’t need to be dealt with as a full emergency. But we do need to keep things in perspective.

Certainly. With more than half the country living in the fictional MAGA-verse, efforts to stop the spread will be limited. With their last breath, they will utter, “fake news.” They choose that corrupt, misogynist, madman over their own families, their own self-interest.

Finish the rest of what he said . He said he won’t stand by that number cause it’s impossible to really know this . Fake news mother fkrs

benshapiro What happened to the 500,000 deaths that was predicted before? Is it being downgraded? How many more revisions are coming?

cmdabe I have never wanted someone to be more wrong.

That's called covering your ass

MMuller2019 yes Italy 60.000.000 - 100.000 contag. 13.000 dead America 300.000.000 - 500.000 contag 75.000 dead

He said could have. Not will. How are you guys still considered honest and unbiased media? This is very irresponsible reporting.

ginaglaros AP and other media blatantly editing or omitting entire comment to stir panic. You should be jailed.

TRex21 fake news.. that is not what he said

* If we did nothing.... You cut that part out. APisFakeNews

Fauci says COULD see AP NEWS fauci says WILL see......two completely different words with completely different meanings in connotations. You know what you're doing here and it's pretty sad

Oh bullshit !

😯

The numbers are not bearing out. Someone check his bank accounts and those of his relatives. Sounds like Soros might have funded him.

We already probably in the hundreds of thousands of cases, right now. We just don’t have them confirmed. I’ll be shocked if deaths can be kept under 1M, considering the we are already in a path/curve of doubling deaths every 2 days...

benshapiro Possible, but who will pay the price for panicking the public when it doesn’t happen, there will be harsh penalties

klaasm67

How did “could see” turn into a headline of “Will have”

Scary

Went to Walmart for supplies. Can't believe there are TOTAL FAMILIES of 4 to 6 coming in to the store.

I am beginning to think Fauci is a doomsayer....

This is strangely reassuring, as I was expecting well north of that.

jtLOL if this does happen and we dont bomb China then we aint shit

No shit sherlock! I have no such accolades & I said that 6-7 WEEKS ago. As far back as December, when I was hearing about China I was saying thats coming to the U.S. and will be 10x worse. I'm an every day person could deduce what's happening today. Why didnt leaders act sooner?

Clarendeezy here you go this is what made me think about it

Fauci gets paid to say such things

And yet he and Gov Cuomo both disagrees that a quarantine should be imposed.

ButItsThefFlu

Kudos to our asshole president for not closing the borders as soon as he heard about the coronavirus. De was more interested in what stopping trade with Mainland China would do to the economy. Well guess what, the economy is in the shitter anyway.

100,000...that's an underestimate.

ForQ2 In two weeks we will beg for those numbers.

Some Truth from someone in Whitehouse and not the idiot with the red hat

pdacosta Canada must keep the border closed indefinitely.

saleemkhan Isn’t that in range with best case scenario.. which obviously isn’t the case. Didn’t CDC leak from a few days ago predict orders of magnitude more…

Wasn't this when he said he wouldn't want to be held to these numbers?

Actually, he said 100,000 to 200,000. It is important to report this acurately.

TrumpVirus QuidProCOVID19 WeStandWithDrFauci

JonLemire realDonaldTrump on you!

onecaliberal

Please note .fauci -w (.) Removed- is a troll, not Dr fauci.

Again, some perspective & consideration of is the cure worse than the disease? The seasonal flu infects (and this varies widely from year to year) AROUND 30 million Americans ANNUALLY w/ 60,000 deaths. There is ZERO panic over the flu, & MILLIONS don't bother to get vaccinated.

CalebJHull Birx Fauci

benshapiro What he said was at the extreme worst we could have that many cases. Print the whole comment. It’s more journalistic malpractice

If you don’t do this every time you hear or say “Dr. Fauci,” you’re doing it wrong.

Undoubtedly I believed this!

richardsenecal Piga yo revoke l ?Allo president scientifique 😡

This is going down as the biggest of all time😲

We have 2 drugs that work this is bs

Hahahahahahahaha another one who joined the d(emonkratik)ark side

LOL is that if we lock ourselves in the closet for a hundred years or is that without locking herself in the closet for a hundred years I'm confused LOL this is just f****** ridiculous give me a break dude I'll take the life-saving meds instead

Your tweet says will, your story says could. STOP TRYING TO PANIC PEOPLE. One is a definitive statement, the other is a guess. His was the latter. Be better at your job

benshapiro No Way!

I guess we’ll end up finding out, won’t we

And that’s never happened before, right ?

The Chinese Coronavirus is a Bio-Weapon. It somehow got out of the Bio-Weapons lab in Wuhan. China lied and let the Virus spread to the World. China should have to pay REPARATIONS to the rest of the world for the Economic Destruction and loss of Life. BoycottChina MAGA

benshapiro He did not say US WILL HAVE, he said could...words have meanings. Concerning to me is that seems as if the “smart folk” don’t have a fucking clue and Trump has to depend on their guesses to make decisions. Thank God for DJT!

He is just another prophet of disaster. And we don’t care if he is the super expert. Right now the world doesn’t need another opinion, it needs action people.

Is it could or will? it cant be both.

He was saying 1.7 million just recently and shut down the country and ruined millions of jobs.

This is definitely my least favorite cross-over episode of 'The Leftovers.'

What are the prospects of treatment please.

I would be interested in how many victims Trump is responsible for. Slowly he joins Putin, Assad and others.

Probably best to listen to the entire interview. Pulling sections out of what Dr Fauci said, like you did, doesn’t give the full picture. It’s irresponsible and fear mongering.

Okay. I'm watching the Fauci interview from CNN now. He said we don't really have any firm idea.

rainyoldlady Blood on realDonaldTrump hands! Trump failed to act soon enough when he had advance warning from IC in early January! Now Americans are going to die by the thousands due to his incompetence! IvankaTrump DonaldJTrumpJr Children of TheDeathPresident

This estimate is FAR lower than the earlier wildly inaccurate “scientific” predictions that the death toll would be 1.5 million in the US. That is what led to all this shutdown nonsense. Now it is 100,000? Not materially different than deaths from flu! REOPENAMERICA

Convenient that there’s no video of him saying this, more fake news.

People just don’t comprehend the reality we’re facing, a scaled-up version of what we’re seeing in the hospitals of northern Italy. That’s realism. Revisit this argument in two weeks’ time, when US hospitals are overwhelmed and they are triaging thousands of people every day.

With a mortality rate of 2% the US will have between 3-5 million deaths if 50%-70% population infected

JenniferJJacobs U.S. has a population of ~330 million. 80,000 people died from flu in 2017-2018 season. Even with a vaccine, which is usually off most years, that many people still died.

benshapiro Yet two weeks ago the NYT predicted 324,000 to one million deaths.

adventuregirl I havent joined the cult of personality around Fauci. This is the guy who thinks we should only test people with symptoms. Can't eradicate this virus if we don't know where it is. TESTTESTTEST

Some reports have Dr. Fauci saying more than 200,000

Not good

benshapiro It’s funny no one wants to talk about how he said he doesn’t want to be held to those numbers because he really doesn’t know.

CalebJHull It’s all Bull Shit

You left this part out of your headline: Fauci says he would only support the rollback in lesser-impacted areas if there is enhanced availability of testing in place to monitor those areas. He acknowledged “it’s a little iffy there” right now. ___

Listen for yourselves...

rwang0 AP you have demonstrated repeatedly that your expertise is MISLEADING the public, not reporting factual news. Dr. Fauci clearly stated the numbers in your “Headline” represent PROBABILITIES based on models with “ASSUMPTIONS”that my be INCORRECT. I’am a Healthcare Provider🇺🇸

GHS Just the C-19 deaths - many thousands more will die from having no access to an already piss-poor, overwhelmed health system

benshapiro

sadafaj Super power only Allah

benshapiro Let’s get it over with then and move on letthemdie

He didn’t say that. Please watch the video. He is talking about a worst-case model that in his years of experience has never happened.

Until and unless all 50 states limit the movement of their residents . . This will be reachable and we will experience multiple waves. . Let us hope COVID-19 will not mutate and disguise itself to medical experts

benshapiro I can’t comment on the validity, yet here we are:

CalebJHull Over how many weeks months years decades? Timeframe is important missing context

He's understating the deaths part

Fauci, our protector being attacked. We would have more death by now if it weren’t for him FauciProtector

We shut the country and turned my grandchildren into debt slaves for that?

POTUS priority no 1 should be to take care of yourselves & your people. Save as many lives as possible. However, once we are through with this crisis I would be keen to see how would the US react to China. Do u think there is a conspiracy theory behind the chinesevirus ?

Fear Mongering bullsh*t. You know damn well you ripped this out of context just to scare the sh*t out of people.

In other breaking news DonChubby says Fauci is a feeble old man and he, DonChubby, alone will be the admin Infectious Disease expert from now through the end of this faux hoax pandemic

benshapiro , so is it 'will' or 'could' have more than 100,000 deaths? You say both, and your article doesn't clarify which one Fauci said.

JenniferJJacobs And Trump go to play golf .....

Note the difference in the tweet versus the article title. The tweet says we 'will have' and the article says Fauci says we 'could or may' have that many cases. One is deinite and the other is an estimate of worst case. Big difference. The tweet should be corrected.

The good news: At least that means the death rate is well below 1%.

benshapiro Fake News

benshapiro Objection! Leading the witness.

In this way is urgent people stay in home all the time. Follow instructions of doctors from nations where Covid19 begun to go away. I think; USA doctors NASA must be in touch and receive support from china doctors, and doctors of nations with little impact. WHO nytimes BBC

Can someone cite the hospitalization percentages of ppl with COVID? Many ppl have it with mild symptoms.

farrisbaba Dr. Trump will not agree.

Fauci is like VanWilder behind the basketball coach

FlyrUsr H1N1 infected 60+ million.

benshapiro Which is it, “could see or will have?”

Meanwhile

CalebJHull Time to start shutting more things down. Where is Congress on this? People are still working in public spaces and spreading the virus and it seems like it’s becoming deadlier with younger folks getting it and sometimes dying.

So 0.0003 percent of the US population will die from this virus.

Sounds like it will be much lower than the 60Million Americans infected with Swine Flu under Obama in 2009.

Lord I pray this is the worse case scenario and we don’t come anywhere near this. The entire country has help by taking this seriously. We can make a difference!

All thanks to Trump

There is still a s..t of people not taking this seriously enough.

benshapiro Directly after he said that he said... “I just don’t think that we really need to make a projection when it’s such a moving target that you could so easily be wrong and mislead people”

Dr. Fauci - You keep warning and that seems to be it. No solutions other than Social distancing. Just social distancing will not solve the problem. We should learn from South Korea and quickly make testing and PPEs available extensively.

JenniferJJacobs fake new, he said we could not that we would

A study from 2007 determined that for every 1% of unemployment 40,000 people die. So if we head into a recession at 10% unemployment that’s 400,000 deaths. If we head into a Depression 25% equates to 1 million deaths... and those numbers will continue as unemployment continues!

benshapiro Wasn't it 4 million worse case? 2 million best case? What happened?

benshapiro Fauci is a lousy Democrat not to be trusted

MyPOV: many epidemiology models show covid19 will result in 20-30 M cases and about 30-40k deaths. coronavirus. The average Influenza year is similar in numbers and cases but not in ICU bed consumption over a period of time. The flu is yak ally more spread out.

benshapiro He needs to clarify his comments with a timeframe

He predicted 80k influenza deaths three months ago.

Dr. Fauci is playing in to the anti-Trump, anti-capitalism propaganda under the false banner of 'saving lives' at the expense of business and workers' livelihood and it is irresponsible. Realistic is maybe 50,000 deaths in the US and no more than 75,000 at worst. COVID19

This will probably happen by Easter

diva_gourmet And I think he is being conservative with his estimation

Fauci should have led the task force since the beginning. But no, it was just a “democratic hoax” and fully “under control”. In the meantime, Trump’s approval rating is rising. I can’t comprehend this...

CalebJHull BS

That's not what he said. He said it's a moving target.

Imperial College projected 1.1-1.2 million US deaths in an optimistic mitigation scenario and 2.2 million in an unmitigated COVID-19 epidemic (not accounting for the negative effects of overwhelmed health systems on mortality). 1,264,000 Americans died in all the nation's wars.

Let’s pray he’s wrong!🙏🏻

All these numbers mean what to The Individual? Wear a mask/gloves, stay home if ill, and don’t lick the produce in your grocery store. WTF? Petition your gov to produce provide PPE. But you can’t do that in person now. Can you? Freedom to assemble squashed

benshapiro That little man is full of crap

There is about a 1% fatality rate at this time. If 1 million get infected in a short amount of time there will be 100,000 dead. If we don’t knock down the curve more will get infected. If 10% of the population get infected in a month, the Healthcare system will collapse.

benshapiro This guy loves to hear himself talk...meanwhile CDC has just announced 24000 deaths from influenza since September 2019.

benshapiro Fake news.

Dr Fauci is a Vaccine Pimp! 2009 H1N1 was worse and his advice was no need to panic, Kids go to school! QUACK

Somebody pls tell me when how why Dr Fosse foss-ee became Dr. Fouwww-see

benshapiro Scary

CalebJHull But it was a misleading headline and you didn’t correct it either. “IF” we don’t flatten the curve” was the full quote. The media loathes our country and we the people.

CalebJHull More speculation from the guy drunk on his own celebrity.

CalebJHull Could and will are the same thing to the AP it seems 🤦‍♀️

Silver_Watchdog An imbecile at the head of the US government would always be a problem. But this is a calamity!

benshapiro I wonder; if the seasonal flu was being tracked as COVID-19 is, how would the infection/death ratio look on a per capita basis—which is what ultimately counts? I suspect the mortality statistics, taken alone, would cause panic.

FakeNews and FearMongering

So not over by Easter?! Trump lies?!

EllenBarkin The response by our POTUS has cost lives. The infection is leaping ahead by nearly 20,000 per day. Think how many more it REALLY is, if wide testing was done. With testing, we could predict communities in trouble & get AHEAD of it. Instead, their hospitals,1-by-1 are unprepared.

Dr. Fauci also said in the same statement that he 'hates to give predictions on a moving target be cause you can be so wrong.' Also said 'you try and give worst case and best case scenarios and reality is somewhere in the middle.'

decolonize_this I hate to say it but that seems like a very conservative estimate

benshapiro Fauci will go down as a disgrace after this. Its sad but true

So, being this nasty corona virus will be here forever, are we to all huddle at home and whimper in place as the world goes round and round or get out there and take our chances...with a brain using common sense or are we to just give up and die because that is what is happening.

This is a natural population correction

Trump is the most incompetent President in American history!

benshapiro Oh My! Should we call China....Collect?

Out of context press! We won’t break 15,000 thank God.

benshapiro I wonder why H1N1 didn’t get near the attention or action? 🤔

100,000 deaths would be over 65,000 more deaths than there are reported world wide right now.....

He can’t remotely have any insite to that nor should his fear mongering be accepted.

To hell with the Media and to hell with DR fauci!!!!!

Fauci is puttin out worst case scenario in case this happens so people wont get caught too surprised. But i don’t believe its that much. Personally

Doubtful, but at least Fauci is finally espousing numbers. Unfortunately, the closer he is to correct, the more imperative the economic curve also becomes - perhaps a Hiroshima type moral conundrum.

benshapiro Dr.Fauci should resign. He failed to stop the spread. If only he had gone with quarantine proposal in Feb....

benshapiro Reopen the economy May the strong survive

PekingMike Trump is literally making this worse.

benshapiro Headline says “could”. Tweet says “will”. Which is it?

At least we have an expert on the case. I hope the Orange Menace steps away. MarALagobroughtCoronatoFlorida

Fuck

That’s a lot less than the millions of death predicted just a few weeks ago

benshapiro Your two headlines are worlds apart: “will have” and “could have.” Your first one advances your political agenda, while the second is what Dr. Fauci actually said.

I sure hope he is wrong.

You know nothing!

You are pathetic, your tweet says it WILL have and the headline says it COULD. Which one is it? Make up your mind.

Then why even have an institute or CDD when they won’t do anything and just let the pandemic run rampant?

100,000 seems high at this point. Certainly possible, but we’re not there yet.

That is not what he said. Leaving out the full quote here is DANGEROUS

LockHimUp_2020_ So much for the hoax and flu.

benshapiro Rs yo rarsa

benshapiro Still less than h1n1

KeithOlbermann The tweet says WILL and the link says COULD. Big difference there, but definitely not fear mongering at all. 😏😏😏

He also said he could be wrong.

Another misleading headline.

The virus thrives very well in populations that are not united. This is not a matter of politics.

TRUMPGENOCIDEFORPROFIT

benshapiro Ben, fear mongering again? Shame on you...

nbcaaron Someone needs to listen to him. What are we waiting for?

The fatality rate of this pandemic is 1%, according to the data. So stop making news out of an ordinary cold. You are scaring the people with your irresponsible sensationalising of an ordinary event. Change that doctor, if needed.

I disagree.

The level of stupidity/denial in the comments is astonishing. US math: 2,026 COVID-19 deaths to date Line slope last 24 days: 1.24x Last 7 days: 1.31x 30 days at 1.24x = 635x (1.3m deaths) If the slope flattens: 30 days at 1.15x = 66x (133k deaths)

EITMonline But how? Trump said it was contained? 🙄

Is that his full quote? Because I suspect that it's not.

Dr Fauci , the main villain:( why he is not messaging the people on how to amp up body’s defenses by using vitamin A, C and D , use Hydroxychloroquine for infections !! He needs to be immediately replaced by a scientist and innovator va_shiva

can’t think of a bigger “l told you so” than this..

benshapiro

benshapiro It’s about the same amount of people that die in 30 days in traffic accidents.

benshapiro Didn’t the H1N1 outbreak, which the C.D.C. estimated infected 60 million and killed 12,000 in USA? , so we’ll see more deaths with ChineseVirus

benshapiro I don’t believe a word he says. I haven’t and I won’t

benshapiro ClayTravis

Clickbait headline. Publish the entire sentence.

Faucci is a dangerous fraud.

Mteh6

IndepndntVotr All due to trump’s failed, dishonest, irresponsible & grossly incompetent, response to COVID-19😡

أكبر خبير أمريكي في الأمراض المعدية: إصابات ڤيروس_كورونا، ستكون بالملايين والوفيات، ستتخطى مئات الألوف في أمريكا وحدها - واليمين الأمريكي، يضيف د أنتوني فوتشي ل 'الدولة العميقة' التي تريد فشل ترامب في الانتخابات أعظم وأقوى وأغنى دولة في العالم، تتخبط

benshapiro Okay. Then there’s no need for the silly shutdown. Let’s get back to life.

6 million is more realistic.

benshapiro Pelosi is a sick human

benshapiro Except hes not tue foremost expert but whatever...

JoshDubowAP There is no data that corroborates these numbers. They are pulled out of thin air.

benshapiro We will be lucky is we “only” have 100,000 deaths.

Crystal ball?

Fire the S.O.B.

This number is scientifically low

benshapiro Yet another randomly generated number to incite fear amongst the people. Nice job twats Ap

benshapiro 70k from overdoes. Where’s the outrage

With a mortality rate at between 1.5 and 2% in the US assuming treatments don’t improve that number over time there would have to be ~10 million people infected I’m calling bullshit because at that rate we’d be flattening the curve until 2025. The Dr. needs to explain.

FairCareCanada Those are very alarming numbers

KeithOlbermann

Ok, so 2x the flu.

Fauci is real..Trumps power comes completely from News media. You coveribg what he says at any time gives him his power. STOP!!! Take the only avenue he knows...stop letting him use you and us! TV gave him his power...TV needs to take it away!

Fauci needed to say something to keep big pharma happy. The data is not helping Fauci. Also, where did he publicly comment on the 2017-18 flu season?

Not what lord narcissist wants to hear

benshapiro “Will have” or “could see”

benshapiro When this whole thing started it was 2 million Americans would die

Stop with the Hysteria

Liberal media.... Fauci being optimistic....He's a Trump puppet! Fauci being pessimistic....He's the expert!

RonaldKlain Dr. Fauci was awarded the Medal of Freedom by G.W. Bush - yes a Republican. Trump's base is now actively smearing him. But then again, Trump awarded that precious Medal of Freedom to Rush Limbaugh, which speaks volumes.

StayWonked Scary. Very scary.

He said potentially. You actually managed to have a material misquote in the HEADLINE.

potus 💯 maga Trump2020 MakeAmericaGreatAgain

If we keep doubling, we might unfortunately be over 100k deaths in less than 6 weeks. Covid19usa COVID2019

Remember when they were telling us 2-4 million dead. Wow how short everyone's memory is.

heffnera Trump pandemic carnage. There is no crisis Trump won’t use to sow chaos and suffering. When you elect a sociopath malignant narcissist expect chaos, corruption, carnage.

benshapiro What happened to 2.2 million Americans dying? 1% of our population? Don't talk about math, exponential growth is the words that matter! How outrageous Imperial College, COVID Act Now numbers were and that they steered policy destroying more lives than this virus ever will.

somebody in his agency would have to have done the math on this by now showing that the growth in US death rates must mean COVIDー19 is either: a) far more prevalent within US community or b) far more deadly than previously estimated.

heffnera

So not a hoax?

Dr. Fauci suggests virus mortality rate may be lower than previous estimates - OAN

benshapiro Why did you retweet this, Ben? That’s not what he said. This is just irresponsible.

benshapiro Spread fear.

Mr. Fauci is *very* optimistic. If number crunching out of Harvard and others (see below) is accurate, COVID-19 will infect 228 M Americans. If we're optimistic and unlike everyone else they only experience a 1% mortality rate, that's 2 million deaths.

Univ. of Washington study says 80,000 and breaks down the numbers including when each state is expected to peak and how many ICU beds they’ll be short.

An embarrassing lack of integrity in this reporting.

He also said that model, as most models tend to do, is probably over estimating.

Duh... more like 500k die

Is there anyone besides me who finds it odd that we haven’t seen any inside footage of these packed hospitals? None, zero, anywhere! Hospitals are empty! Maybe a few clips of a few people.

benshapiro So in other words, just a little more than the flu

benshapiro Isn't this 25x lower than expected?

benshapiro BS

But Trump said we only had 15 cases and it was going to 0.

TrumpGenocide TrumpGenocide TrumpGenocide TrumpGenocide TrumpGenocide TrumpGenocide TrumpGenocide TrumpGenocide TrumpGenocide TrumpGenocide TrumpGenocide TrumpGenocide TrumpGenocide TrumpGenocide TrumpGenocide TrumpGenocide

In interview, he LITERALLY also says he gets taken out of context when he talks and then you go and do just that.

KyleWIIM I’d say 100k is off by about 5fold.

benshapiro Y you pushing this stuff? Even if it’s true Fauci is a lier + it’s creating panic 60k+ die every year from the flu. Be cautious but please stop this march/sprint towards communism. The government doesn’t know better than the people...They just get more money from big pharma

benshapiro Let’s all remember that the original projections was that even if mitigation actions like the government is taking now, we were supposed to see 1.1 to 2.1 million deaths.

twithersAP Dr. Fauci is part of the deep state. United States will not have over 100,000 deaths. I’ll even say that we won’t have over 25,000.

Positive thinking

Multiply by minimum 10

benshapiro Probably...going back to work in two weeks

It’s incompleted quotes like this that cause fear and panic in people. Was that your intention? Is that how you wanted to make your family feel?

josh_greenberg This is so sad for those living in the US and for those in Canada, the US becomes an incubator of the virus.

benshapiro Doubtful. Curve suggests ~300k cases.

Are you people just incapable of putting out the whole truth? You are NOT journalists, you're nazi propagandists. To finish the actual quote for your hapless liberal minions...'...IF social distancing measures are ignored'.

JohnMoralesNBC6 Ya pronto Trump lo despide de sus funciones y comienza a dirigirse hacia él con adjetivos burlones y faltas de respeto. 🙄

benshapiro What do we do when he’s wrong? Nothing He will still be the expert everyone touts...

benshapiro Ben Shapiro is spreading fear instead of updated models and pandemic math. The worst case scenario models have retracted.

He needs to go one step further and put the blame right where it needs to go

benshapiro Top six countries by confirmed cases per million people (based on population numbers from the CIA World Fact Book) in descending order: 1. Italy (1386.13) 2. Spain (1280.78) 3. Germany (615.57) 4. France (436.17) 5. Iran (380.72) 6. USA (283.30)

benshapiro

Part of flattening the curve? Adequate PPE for healthcare professionals. If we get sick bc our hospitals are limiting our use of PPE...who’s going to run the ventilators, take care of the sick? Did u all go to nursing/Med school?

benshapiro Covid19, Heart Disease, Diabetes etc. We are all walking towards death. Or, are we? The Son of God, Jesus Christ✝ is the gift from God for ALL. God did not send His Son into the world to judge it, but to save the world through Him. Eternal life continues. John 3:13-20 read it.

benshapiro H1N1 deaths hit 500,000+ in 2009/10.....just sayin

benshapiro “ I don’t want to get pinned down on a number because it’s dynamic.” Journalist proceeds to quote the number as a prediction. 😂

I’m glad he is a man of principle and integrity. Consequently Frump will fire him shortly

benshapiro Or not. This reporting doesn’t take into account many of the good things going on. So fake news.

How is that different from the projections without social isolation? We need context AP.

NPSusa Dr. Fauci is being very optimistic. We're already seeing how quickly hospitals are overwhelmed, not even having proper equipment for the first weeks. Over a year, the larger part of the population will be infected. He needs to double and add a zero at least.

Clickbait. Finish the headline, ‘if people continue to ignore quarantine requests’. Cmon do your part to report AND educate in this time of need.

Welp. He did try warning US. But how-

Only a guesstimated opinion!

Democrat driven media hype, Walkaway

100,000 would be optimistic considering the poor response, poor healthcare system and slow testing! CapitalismKills TrumpGenocide CorporateBailout TrumpRapture

We all learning as we go. We are a country under God. We will get over this and we will be strong as lessons learned will pass from generations to generations. God's Promise stands!

Fake news

SportsTVRatings 😳

MichaelSSmithII Donald knows it too. Think of that next time he holds his next self congratulatory media session. He will continue to blame everyone and everything else.

100k Huh?

colvinj This isn't new information and frankly his estimates are probably too low

What was the date Dr Fauci first became aware of the virus, and what was his and his department’s reaction? Was the federal scientific and public health preparedness army permitted or prevented from acting quickly to respond? If so, by who?

With Lord Dampnut in charge I see this as a completely reasonable projection.

Your tweet should reflect the headline in the article: “Fauci *warns* U.S. could see some 100,000 deaths”

Last time I checked there is a difference between 'could' and 'will'. Funny how your headline somehow doesn't mention that.

His days are certainly numbered under Trump if he keeps this s**t up. That is not the narrative Trump is pushing and you know what happens to truth tellers.

bradheath But Trump said Covid19 would magically disappear in April? 😩

Just a big flu

Who made him the leading expert ? Fake news liberal media that is who.

Prediction was 2million so sounds a good estimation?

JonLemire Number one? What is this, the playoffs?

How about a million deaths. China had about a million deaths or more. You just didn't get the news.

Think where we might be is DangerousDon hadn’t Lied to all of us and said it was a “hoax”? VoteBlueToEndThisNightmare VoteBlueToSaveAmerica

Fake News Keeps Ignoring THIS:

🙏

So dishonest. AP should be ashamed.

Why are cruise ships still operating? Why is Florida apparently letting it dock? Or is the ship without passengers?

It will be more than those numbers.. wave after wave.

Perspective Flu season 2019. 80,000 deaths almost a million tested/confirmed cases, many not tested.

TrumpGenocide

Can we have the good news now?

you forgot to finish the sentence. Probably just an error.

BenAxelrod 🧐. Why are some reporting 1.1 million-2.2 million deaths in the U.S. the ?

All the experts around the world say so! No country will suffer more than the USA!

I'm pretty sure it will easily cross half a million given the current tends in USA.

I call bullshit

Dr Fauci feeling optimistic today 👀

Forgot to finish the statement. '... If people continue to ignore quarantine requests'
