Fauci 'Depressed' U.S. Can't Get New Coronavirus Cases Down: 'We're Still in the First Surge'

Dr. Anthony Fauci has said he feels "depressed" when he looks at data on the number of new coronavirus cases reported in the U.S. each day.

"I keep looking at that curve [of reported cases], and I get more depressed and more depressed about the fact that we never really get down to the baseline that I'd like," the White House coronavirus task force member and a top infectious disease expert said during a Harvard Medical School Grand Rounds session.

Fauci said the U.S. is the "worst hit country in the world" and has not been successful in containing its outbreak. According to Johns Hopkins University, the U.S. has reported over 6.3 million coronavirus cases and over 191,000 deaths.



The decades-long director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases said the country's inability to get below a baseline level of 20,000 daily new cases since late March—spiking to 70,000 cases and over 1,000 deaths earlier in the summer—as "extraordinarily unacceptable."

If 40% of the country believes the "Idiot in charge" it's not a surprise we have a COVID problem.
