On 20 June 2020, mainstream news reported that NIAID director Anthony Fauci had given evidence to the US Senate hearing that daily cases in the US could reach 100,000 cases daily.

This is important for the leading scientific and medical advisor predicting significantly worse US outcomes than presidential statements.

Since then, daily cases have consistently continued to rise during the first two weeks of July.

Fauci guaranteed it would be very disturbing “because when you have an outbreak in one part of the country, even though in other parts of the country they’re doing well, they are vulnerable.”
