Dr. Fauci said something about COVID-19 that’s making conservatives so mad

[Andy Meek]

• The latest coronavirus update for the US shows an outbreak that, depressingly, keeps getting worse -- with a 30% growth in the country's seven day average of new COVID-19 cases as of Monday, compared to the previous seven-day period.
• During a recent public event, the White House health advisor made the comment that Americans should just do what they're told right now in order for the country to get a better handle on the coronavirus pandemic.
• Naturally, that comment has drawn the ire of conservatives.

The latest coronavirus update offers a truly depressing window into the pandemic, showing that the health crisis continues to worsen in the US. According to a CNBC analysis of Johns Hopkins University data, for example, the seven-day average of new COVID-19 cases in the US topped 150,000 for the first time on Monday. Moreover, the record 155,310 new infections per day marks the tenth consecutive day of the US seeing at least 30% growth in that seven-day average.

The rise in coronavirus case counts, as well as hospitalizations, have both motivated various mayors and governors around the country to tighten restrictions again on the movement and public gatherings of residents, as well as the operation of businesses. White House health advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci, meanwhile, made something of an offhand remark in recent days by way of explaining how the country could get a better handle on the worsening outbreak -- a remark that did not go over well at all, especially with conservatives.
