Business Insider: 'Numbers don't lie': Fauci says you can't deny the US has the world's worst COVID-19 outbreak
* Dr. Anthony Fauci on Wednesday said "the numbers don't lie" when asked if the US has the worst coronavirus outbreak in the world.
* "Yeah, it is quantitatively if you look at it, it is. I mean the numbers don't lie," Fauci said.
* Fauci's comments on Wednesday stand in stark contrast with recent rhetoric from President Donald Trump, who has fervently defended his administration's handling of the pandemic as deaths and cases rise.
* Trump has repeatedly downplayed the impact of COVID-19 in the US.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation's top expert on infectious disease, on Wednesday was unequivocal that the US coronavirus outbreak is the worst in the world.
"We're not quite 5% of the world's population, yet represent 20-25% of the world's infections ... I mean, that has to be the worst. Is it not the worst?" CNN's Dr. Sanjay Gupta asked Fauci during an interview.
"Yeah, it is quantitatively if you look at it, it is. I mean the numbers don't lie," Fauci said.
His words directly undercut the misleading and rosy picture President Donald Trump has sought to paint around the COVID-19 outbreak in the US, which is part of a broader effort to downplay his administration's failures in responding to the pandemic.

WNU Editor: The US has the world's worst Covid-19 numbers today. But this pandemic is far from over, and I will not be surprised if other countries are going to be hit hard with the approach of winter.

Fauci is a fraud. Does the 79 year old political hack trust China's death toll figures?
Very few people are working at 79 with his type of money. People with his type of money are often world travelers.
I would expect COVID to hit the US harder than South Korea. Due to the percentages of A & O blood types. So getting hit harder in and of itself does not say a lot. It might just mean that you population has a high percentage of people with A or B blood types, a generally older population and governors, who send sick people to nursing homes.
The governors like Cuomo admit they sent infected people to nursing homes. His excuse is that Trump told him too. Trump did kknow such thing and we know what Fredo said at the time. He said that we would not discriminate against infected people so they were going back to the nursing homes. Governor Fredo and others were burnishing that identity politics cred of theirs.NY for the 1st 3 months made up 1/2 the cases. That was due to local mismanagement.
No Governor Fredo is crying and ask everyone to come back to the state that he sunk.

Not sure where the numbers come from that make Fauci make those statements. The rate per million of population fir the US are not the highest, neither are the cases per million population. Something like 9th or 10th in the world.
thanks for the old news captain obvious!
Europe has higher numbers and the Kiribati Islands have less..... I don't understand Fauci, except if he has a personal agenda.
I am finding Dr. Fauci increasingly tiresome. And his weird, beady little eyes. There's a saying that the eyes are a window to the soul. Fauci has the eyes of a ferret.
From the git go I've questioned the man. As I've said before I think he loves the notoriety that comes with his TV exposure. He doesn't come across in a professional manner, in my mind.
Fauci has lost credibility in the eyes of the world and more importantly in the US. He should step down and let someone else take charge. This would also reduce his huge conflict of interest on the patent, his wife's conflict of interest with him being in the ethics(!) Oversight at the FDA drug approvals. He has also some weird ties to China, this virus and his decades of documented performance, eg how he handled AIDS back then are questionable to say the least. Step down! This is insane. The left should stop backing him.
But WNU, WNU! Your beloved Trump says that's fake news! What's happening, you're going off script!
Exactly what is fake news, which you speak of? Facui has backtracked more than once and has also displayed double standards. On op of it all is his conflict of interests.
FACUI uses the only metric that is objective. How many cases and how many deaths per hundred thousand people in a nation's population. The US is horrible in this metric, worse than most nations. And yes, we can not bez sure of figures from China and possibly Russia.

"How many cases and how many deaths per hundred thousand people in a nation's population."
You would think that would be a good yardstick, but different nations outside of China and Russia report it differently.
People, who are hospitalized, are dying at decreasing rate.
I knew the pernicious mother fucker who came out at 8:20 AM would come out. Just knew it.
That many, know nothing, good for nothing asshole is sitting all pretty thinking he/she is mart and is accomplishing something. That total idiot and misogynist is not aware that experts are predicting higher TB, malaria, and HIV infections and deaths. 25% of people have trouble getting the HIV meds with the lockdown.
So on top of increased cancer deaths and a wrecked economy, 8:20 should be charged with negligent manslaughter for the increased HIV, malaria and TB deaths.
About the only thing 8:20 could do to atone for his or her sins is voluntarily commit himself or herself for life at a psych ward.
