Dr. Anthony Fauci says that the U.S. may see only 60,000 deaths due to coronavirus, slashing the estimate to less than half as many than the White House estimated last week.
According to Fauci, who is one of the nation’s top disease experts and a member of the White House coronavirus task force, social distancing and other mitigation efforts are beginning to have a positive impact, which could mean that instead of over 200,000 deaths, the country could see far fewer, as Bloomberg reports.
“The real data are telling us it is highly likely we are having a definite positive effect by the mitigation things that we’re doing, this physical separation,” said Fauci, in an interview with Today.
