Fauci Warns of ‘Disturbing Uptick’ In Infections

Dr. Anthony Fauci told House lawmakers that the nation is experiencing a “disturbing surge” of coronavirus infections as states reopen too quickly and without adequate plans for testing and tracing the contacts of those infected with the virus, the New York Times reports.

In a break with President Trump’s upbeat assessments, Dr. Fauci told lawmakers that while some states like New York, were “doing very well” in controlling spread of the virus, the surge in other states was “very troublesome to me.”

He added: “The next couple of weeks are going to be critical in our ability to address those surges we are seeing in Florida, Texas, Arizona, and other states.”
