Fauci Says Coronavirus Deaths in US Could Top 100,000

WASHINGTON (AP) — As the White House looks for ways to restore normalcy in parts of the U.S., the government's foremost infection disease expert has a sober prognosis.

Dr. Anthony Fauci tells CNN that the country could experience more than 100,000 deaths and millions of infections from the coronavirus pandemic.

He says the pandemic is such a “moving target” that it's hard to pin down such a forecast. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says President Donald Trump refused to acknowledge the severity of the crisis early on.

And she says that has cost lives.
