Fauci Warns 100,000 Americans Could Die From Virus, States Step Up Safety Measures | Nightly News



Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s leading infectious disease expert, warned the U.S. could see millions of coronavirus cases and some 100,000 deaths. The CDC issued a travel advisory for hard-hit New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, with those states’ governors saying the advisory is already in practice. New York is the epicenter of the outbreak in the U.S. and extended its stay-at-home order through April 15.» Subscribe to NBC News: http://nbcnews.to/SubscribeToNBC

  1. China was able to do this because Dr. Anthony Fauci’s NIAID provided the money to do so!
    The NIH research consisted of two parts. The first part began in 2014 and involved surveillance of bat coronaviruses, and had a budget of $3.7 million. The program funded Shi Zheng-Li, a virologist at the Wuhan lab, and other researchers to investigate and catalogue bat coronaviruses in the wild. This part of the project was completed in 2019.
    A second phase of the project, beginning that year, included additional surveillance work but also gain-of-function research for the purpose of understanding how bat coronaviruses could mutate to attack humans. The project was run by EcoHealth Alliance, a non-profit research group, under the direction of President Peter Daszak, an expert on disease ecology. NIH canceled the project just this past Friday, April 24th, Politico reported. Daszak did not immediately respond to requests for interview.

  2. That's a load of crap.. Covid has killed only a 6% percent of people who had it.. Stop believing in msm…

  3. 100,000 a day. This is EXCELLENT news if this can happen! Especially if the trend of few elderly getting it and the deaths staying even or decreasing continues. The vast majority of the new cases are young folks who are in virtually zero danger of dying from it. This is precisely what we want. This would ultimately result in the exponential reduction of case spread-which is what we want to make this flu go away for those of you that are obviously terrified of said flu.

    Points to remember:

    1) Far more people have actually gotten this than we know. This means that the mortality rate is actually extremely small. Probably on the order of .05%. Its almost nothing. All evidence points exactly to this.

    2) Democrat governors forced positive patients into nursing homes. Nursing home deaths in the US are nearly 50,000. The responsibility here lies with democrat governors. At the most we should subtract the 50,000 deaths that democrats caused from the total. At the the least there should be a GIANT asterix beside the total number the democrat news spews forth every day.

    3) The total numbers should have been RESET to zero in mid may. Mid may to mid may totals would accurately represent a valid comparison with normal yearly flu. Normal yearly flu kills 500,000 world wide. Applying EQUAL comparison results in about an initial yearly total of 300,000-maybe. Probably far less. In other words the flu is much worse. I know democrats are terrified of this but it doesn’t change the truth. Tough.

    4) The swine flu went unnoticed by the entire world. No one cared. No one did anything.Everything turned out fine. Did I mention that 1.3 Billion with a B people got it? That was 10 years ago. You democrats weren’t terrified out of your minds and sleeping in useless masks then. We didn’t shut down the world then. Upwards of 575,000 died from it according to later studied results. Conclusion? This over reaction to this new corona virus ( in essence a bad cold) is utterly moronic and intellectually bankrupt to its core.

    5) We have known about corona viruses for decades. By all evidence this one presents no unusual threat. Now I know democrats are terrified of it and democrat leaders are terrified of it and are trying to control your lives by the response, but again, it doesn’t make it true. These are democrats after all.

    6) The useless mask. I predicted that “the mask” issue would become political months ago and of course it has. This was not a rocket science based prediction. It was based on knowing who and what democrats are. Its at the point now where there is a 95% chance that if you wear a mask you are a democrat and that science, logic and reason have been totally disregarded. Everyone that has done just 5 minutes of basic research will discover that masks filter GIANT bacterial particles and they do NOT filter MINIATURE viral particles. Even some water suspended viral particles sail right through the useless mask filter. Some go right around the sides. And if you are close enough to someone who is coughing and sneezing its all going right in your eyes and all over the rest of you and its just a matter of minutes before you touch it and get it into your system.

    Masks are utterly useless. They are being used as a means of social control. I refuse. I will not patronize any business that mandates their useless use. I have a brain and am using it correctly. Democrats can choose to live in a fantasy land of false security if they wish. I refuse.

    7) We are being lied to concerning numbers. I have outlined some reasons above. There are far more ranging from automatic testing of hospital admissions for OTHER things to purposefully classifying deaths as CV when in previous years classifications of death “due to flu” wouldn’t have happened. The evidence of this is widely available for those interested in truth. Democrats are not. These are the same democrats terrified of clouds vis a vis global warming.

    Finally, I have had and recovered from CV months ago. I thought we were being deceived on this long before I got infected, while I was infected, and now that I am recovered.

    I don’t accept being lied to and I will not or ever be socially controlled by the immoral untruthful conduct of democrats.

  4. It crossed 100,000 today. Dr. Fauci is proven right !!

  5. told them cop car is taken gone from them that's the car u need ok and

  6. 100k? He's so optimistic.

  7. Mr don't shake hands ever again!.

  8. Dr. Mikovits has your number there Fauci.

  9. Well as of April 29th 2020, the US has over 60000 deaths and over 1 million cases and no end in sight… Fauci could be right.

  10. Clearly he was completely wrong.

  11. He also said 200k would die, big spread. Hes just saying whatever the orange man says

  12. everyone stay in your own state

  13. they warned 1,000,000 dead

  14. I think this virus is deadlier than they are telling us. There is something very shady about this whole pandemic. Something quite amiss. God bless everyone and stay safe.

  15. This guy needs to go to gitmo with hrc#

  16. i fell like re watching season 10 of the walking dead.

  17. 100,000 deaths annually to regular seasonal flu

  18. Why aren’t we hearing from the head of the CDC? Too ashamed to face the American public? Why do we only hear from 80 year old relic Fauci? We now live in a new world order where the Center of Disease Control and National Institute of Health are no longer expected to control infectious disease… what have they been doing all this time? Even Bill Gates knew about this virus and knew it was coming years ago . Guess these infectious disease institutions are now only expected to program humans to expect the worse…project millions of infections and 100s of thousands of deaths and tell us how many years it will take for vaccines. .. apparently they are not expected to keep America safe from pandemics anymore. They aren’t even expected to apologize for not doing their job snd not keeping America safe from infectious disease! A mandatory shutdown like in China would severely curtail infections if everyone wore masks and stayed home in the US… but our government, the CDC and Fauci/NIAID do not want to keep this disease under control like China did. After all, we are the land of the free, infectious and brave…no police state shutdown for us!

  19. Let’s see if they can build 3 hospital from the ground up in 15 days, and space for 2,000 beds.

  20. Fake news, Fauci is a DS shill of Hitlery. His days are numbered. You're Fired!

  21. Most likely scenario based on what the current situation is, ie. lack of social distancing and poor health care for poor people is 2.5 to 8 million deaths.

  22. nbc cnn and fox all biased networks obviously, how does a news outlet stay true while biased? they don't, hopeyou got that,,, enjoy your news SHOWS and quarrels over petty matters they orchestrate… you Americans of late make me ashamed that you think you are american, your minds are enslaved through deception, so your mind isn't, really free, oh so you see that me so sorry if you can see that, that there disqualified the claim by definition of an American….none hear will question why hyper reporting by mainstream media wasn't seen til march, even when deaths in iran and italy was known really you lovely folks are going to fall for media game of blame, to divert true claims by so many, that maybe just maybe, it may be the media to blame

  23. We all know who mistake is this…. That person has to take responsibilty and face consequences.

  24. 100,000 or even 200,000 is a small number to the overall population… What else is really going on…

  25. Hillary must have told him to derail that stock market with more doom and gloom predictions. Last weeks predictions didn't hold up. People are starting to see what's going on here.

  26. Still rememeber that " If I ger the corona, i get the conora, nothing gonna stop me from partying"…that pretty much sums up the attitude of Americans vs their East Asian counterparts where the situation now in these countries (China, Taiwan, HK, Singapore, S Korea) are such that while they have somewhat flatten the curve via strict measures with or without country/city shutdown, the threat now is 2nd wave from returnees coming back from Europe/USA and some other ASEAN countries where infection still on the rise. So it seems the pattern is there will be a 1st and 2nd wave.

  27. Stop killing innocent people across world… consider this as his last warning… or else we will made extinct…8 yr boy before dying in Syria said he will complain to god what u did to me.. within days this epidemic started killing thousands…if we don't realise our mistake and correct it…he will not think before distroying us

  28. Man… NBC always goes hard negative or inflamatory with their articles. Many good people are working the problem, but you'll never hear NBC give anyone credit. It is as though NBC prefers to try to weaponize the news and use this as a political tool. A pandemic, but Media goes low road.

  29. Survival of the fittest! I've always believed the earth to be sentient, it fights back when under attack. Now it's fighting back an infestation of humans, the herd must be culled.

  30. QUIT CLAMING MORE FATALITIES, CLAIM HEALING!!!,

  31. MEGA: “Flue kills more people”
    Coronavirus: “No hurry, just give me another month!”

  32. The politicians only care if every American death is counted a negative vote against them. Allowing 100,000 death is irresponsible.

  33. Mty the play toy water guns and put pure Clorox in them anyone gets close the Clorox is gonna fly

  34. More like die from the vaccine.

  35. Hate to say it, but you all got the system, healthcare, and leadership that YOU voted for. This is called "learning the hard way." Now, the question is will you learn from this? Will you vote better next time? If the primaries are any indication, the answer is no. Hard to have much sympathy for America when they've brought much of this on themselves.

  36. Dr. Fauci why haven't you contracted the CVirus yet? I thought this virus was intelligent enough to detect your age group? I think we don't need a dr to inform us of a virus that we haven't seen on our streets yet. Don't believe everything you hear!

  37. it start in 1993 with sera virus that was in china had outbreak and didn't make it very far.Reason why it could only live 3 hour on the surface and now it can live up to 48 hours.This why i think it was modified. China hire in 2011 Charles Lieber from Harvard college as a nano tech for 50k month and other 150k for living expense. than $1.5 million by the Chinese government and the Wuhan University of Technology to set up a lab and conduct research at the university.i think he help china make coronavirus. But what people don't understand what nano technology is? what nano technology can do is replicated things.
    this is how nano works 1 nano then 2 nano then 4,8,12 so on
    like me putting a drop water on 4 foot table coming back in 3 hours and whole table be full of water.That why this virus spreading like wild fire. Charles Lieber was investigate by FBI and was convict jan 2020 for lying to are government what he did for china.All what i wrote can be look up on google
    could save life of people around the world. People ask why china did it? To crash world market and take over it.Image what they can do with control of the world market.And they can take control of world companies.

  38. DR FAUCI NEEDS TO MAKE UP HIS MIND!!!!!!!!! PER HIS NEW ENGLAND JOURNAL OF MEDICINE ARTICLE JUST 4 DAYS AGO STATING THAT COVID IS LIKE A MINOR COLD!! NO MORE DEADLY THAN OTHER FLU

  39. He probably also believes global warming will have us under water in 20 years
    He's so wrong and thankfully so.
    Don't accept his fear mongering

  40. Fauci is the epitome of deeep state creature. Predicted a planneddemic just a couple weeks before the President took office.He will be gone soon
    Count on it!This whole thing is A terroristic plot.Drive by your local hospital nothing going on. MSM
    will be held accountable by the citizenry at some point if caught in public they will be torn to pieces.
    PURE AND SIMPLE THIS IS TERRORISM DONE BY D.C. CLOWNS AND THEIR PUPPETS
    MSM!

  41. Yea he did this. He made this happen

  42. see you rt is (yes ) Off
    NO Questions so fire ice
