VIDEO: Fauci Warns Reopening Will Come With More Deaths

Dr. Anthony Fauci is making stern warnings. First, that the reopening of businesses across the country is sure to increase the number of coronavirus cases and, second, that America needs to get ready for a very difficult fall and winter. 

“If as we open up the country economically and otherwise, if we have the capability to implement well when new cases occur, which they will,” said Fauci during an interview Tuesday with The Economic Club of Washington D.C.

Fauci also mirrored CDC Director Dr. Robert Redfield's comments last week that America faces a difficult Fall and Winter.

“As you try and relax mitigation, if we have the capability of identifying, isolating and contact tracing in a highly effective and efficient way, then the numbers will stay low. It may be 80,000, whatever 70,000 like the model says.”
