Daily Mail: Dr. Fauci predicts America's coronavirus death toll will be '100,000 to 200,000', millions of people will be infected and says lockdowns will NOT be lifted next week like the President wants
* Dr Anthony Fauci on Sunday morning estimated the US could see between 100,000 and 200,000 deaths
* 'We're going to have millions of cases,' he said, adding that he did not want to be held to that number because the pandemic is 'such a moving target'
* Fauci offered his prognosis as the federal government weighs rolling back guidelines on social distancing
* He said he would only support such action in lesser impacted areas if there is enhanced testing in place
* As of Sunday morning, there were more than 132,000 positive cases and more than 2,300 deaths in the US
* New York City remains the epicenter of the nation's outbreak, with 33,786 cases and 678 deaths
* Several other cities including Detroit, Chicago and New Orleans are being monitored as potential hotspots
* Dr Deborah Birx, the White House's coronavirus response coordinator, said Sunday: 'Every metro area should assume that they will have an outbreak equivalent to New York'
Dr Anthony Fauci, the government's foremost infection disease expert, says the United States could experience more than 100,000 deaths and millions of infections from the coronavirus pandemic.
Fauci offered his prognosis in an interview with CNN's State of the Union on Sunday morning, as the federal government weighs rolling back guidelines on social distancing.
'I would say between 100,000 and 200,000 cases,' he said, correcting himself to say he meant deaths. 'We're going to have millions of cases.' But he added 'I don't want to be held to that' because the pandemic is 'such a moving target'.
The bleak projection comes as the US leads the world in coronavirus infections, with 132,647 reported to date. The nationwide death toll reached 2,355 on Sunday, more than doubling figures reported two days earlier.

When this started, I predicted a maximum of 161K deaths. Frankly the economic and social costs of this policy have been absolutely brutal. Continuation of the current policies are almost guaranteed to lead to more deaths in the mid term than this virus ever will.
We must reopen our economy. It's time to end the experiment that Dr Fauci are running. I say for the duration of this Dr Fauci and others of his ilk give up their pay.
