The U.S. government’s foremost infection disease expert warned March 29 that the United States could experience more than 100,000 deaths and millions of infections as a result of the CCP virus pandemic.

Dr. Anthony Fauci, in an interview on CNN’s “State of the Union” on March 29, said that he “would say between 100,000 and 200,000” Americans will succumb to the virus. “We’re going to have millions of cases,” he said, adding, “I don’t want to be held to that,” as the pandemic is “such a moving target.”
