Dr. Anthony Fauci testified before the Senate this week that the United States could soon see as many as 100,000 new coronavirus cases per day, feeding alarmist narratives that have spread rapidly through the media: Surging COVID-19 infections, hospital systems under strain, and the prospect of a "second wave" of the virus potentially throwing much of the nation back into open-ended lockdowns.(Snip)A representative of Fauci's office this week told Just the News that the public health expert's estimate this week was not "a hard prediction that we’d reach 100,000 cases per day"; rather, the doctor was indicating that "if we do not act quickly and decisively, the cases could surge

Help yourself over the information chasm; read what Victor Davis Hanson said in his article today about this very thing.

Dr. Fauci is a threat to the health of the country. He needs to be retired to write his "tell-all" book.

Never liked this little man - from the first time I saw him and soon after heard he was a Hillary fan.

Totally BS numbers.
Using antibodies tests which look at people long recovered from the virus and call them "cases" and implying that this is something going on now is just pure fraud, nothing else, no way to dress it up.
FRAUD. Fauci is fraud. The states are combining past, recovered cases with current cases. FRAUD.
And let's suppose 100,000 people got this virus....OK, then probably 95,000 of them won't even NOTICE IT. Perhaps 300 of those people might actually get seriously sick.
Spread that over 50 states and that is 6 people sick in each state. THAT is nothing to get freaked out over. We have more car accidents than that, almost certainly every day. Do people hide in their basements from car accidents?
And frankly, if the folks with compromised immune systems, comorbidities, and who are over 80 or 70 or whatever THEY CHOOSE, stay closer to home and take more care of themselves, there will be less than that 300 people because the people getting it will be mostly under 50 and they have a nearly zero rate of getting seriously ill if they are normal and healthy.

Another number, pulled from Fauci' or someone else's backside ( maybe they take turns ) designed to maintain or raise the fear level among those who are unable or unwilling to so some 4th grade ARITHMETIC !!
The numbers have lied about from day one
This is an attempt to keep the fear up at least until the election. Nothing more and totally groundless.

Someone should drop this malignant dwarf down a mine-shaft. But to thank him for his service---and prevent a child falling in---erect a small wooden shrine directly over the opening. Don't forget to carve a crescent moon in the door.

I'm 70, healthy no comorbidities and up to here with this. I am more likely to die drowning in government BS than COVID.

When are they going to stop the COVID spreaders? The ones the press calls the protesters. This would cut the spread of it tremendously. They lock up honest people yet let these people run amok.

I have to admit that I have not followed Fauci's pronouncements closely, and often what I hear is secondhand through the (spit!) media.
But it seems to me that he has been wrong enough, and contradicted himself enough, that I will just trust to my own judgement -mostly to just stay out of crowds- and disregard his edicts.

Fauci is a demonrat; ergo, he has to feed demonrat histeria.

According to the article, the first coronavirus case in this country was confirmed on January 21s; if 30,000,000 infections are true over 165 days, the average daily rate of infection would be a little over 180,000 cases, meaning “80% higher than the worst-case scenario evoked by Fauci this week.” If true, the statistics suggest the disease is far less lethal than feared, and indicates that this country can handle “significantly higher caseloads of the virus than many currently fear.”
