Anthony Fauci warns U.S. is "still knee-deep in the first wave of this"
In an interview on Facebook Live with National Institutes of Health Director Dr Francis Collins, Dr Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, warned that the United States was facing a "serious situation" and were "still knee-deep in the first wave" of the Covid-19 outbreak.
"And I would say, this would not be considered a wave. It was a surge, or a resurgence of infections superimposed upon a baseline," Fauci added.
Fauci attributes the current rise of Covid-19 cases to several states reopening too soon, saying: "A series of circumstances associated with various states and cities trying to open up in the sense of getting back to some form of normality has led to a situation where we now have record-breaking cases."
