Fauci: Daily COVID-19 cases need to drop by at least 30K for safe flu season

The United States must cut the daily number of new COVID-19 cases by at least 30,000 to avoid a disastrous flu season, the nation's top infectious disease expert said Wednesday. 'We're right around 40,000 new cases' a day, Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said on 'Andrea Mitchell Reports.' 'That's an unacceptably high baseline. We have got to get it down. I would like to see it 10,000 or less,' he added.
