COVID-19 nowhere near 'under control'' in US: Anthony Fauci

White House Chief medical Adviser Anthony Fauci said the deadly pandemic is nowhere near "under control" in the US. "Right now, we`re still in pandemic mode, because we have 1,60,000 new infections a day. That`s not even modestly good control," said Dr Fauci.

Washington: Expressing concerns over the rising COVID-19 cases, White House Chief medical Adviser Anthony Fauci on Thursday (September 9, 2021) said deadly pandemic is nowhere near "under control" in the US. Fauci reiterated that the only way out of this pandemic is vaccination.  "Right now, we`re still in pandemic mode, because we have 1,60,000 new infections a day. That`s not even modestly good control," Fauci was quoted as saying by The Hill. "In a country of our size, you can`t be hanging around and having 100,000 infections a day. You`ve got to get well below 10,000 before you start feeling comfortable," he said during his interview with AXIOS.
