For the 11th time in a month, the U.S. saw a record-high number of new coronavirus cases, reporting over 75,600 cases on Thursday alone. Ten states also reported their highest single-day death tolls yesterday.
In June, Dr. Anthony Fauci testified that the country could see up to 100,000 new coronavirus cases in a day if the situation was not controlled. In a discussion with Mark Zuckerberg yesterday, Fauci again called for better control of the virus.
‘What I think we need to do, and my colleagues agree, is we really almost need to regroup, call a timeout— not necessarily lock down again, but say that we’ve got to do this in a more measured way,’ Dr. Fauci said.
‘We’ve got to get our arms around this and we’ve got to get this controlled.’ The virus continues to spread around the world as well, as Brazil becomes the second country to surpass 2 million cases, and India reports over 1 million.
