REPORT: Dr. Anthony Fauci isn’t happy. All told, the United States could see up to 300,000 deaths from Covid-19 by the end of the year, and six months in the entire planet has seen 750,000 deaths from the virus.
His thoughts today on ending the pandemic:

“We certainly are not where I hoped we would be."

"We are in the middle of a very historic, serious pandemic and the numbers speak for themselves."

“Bottom line: I’m not pleased with how things are going."

Echoing his own assertions and that of health experts the world over, as well as assessments made by the @COVIDOversight regularly:

This assessment from Fauci comes as other officials in the president's own administration, like CDC director Robert Redfield warned today that we are headed for the worst fall in U.S. public health history w/o containment

So what to do to drive case numbers down while we await a vaccine? On the recommendation of Dr. Fauci:
1) universal mask-wearing
2) social distancing
3) hand-washing
4) avoiding crowds
5) keep activities outdoors
