- With the surge in the number of coronavirus cases the US is seeing at the moment, White House health advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci has been lamenting in recent interviews that the coronavirus pandemic is dangerously close to being out of control.
- Dr. Fauci's latest warning is that we're seeing such an explosion in new coronavirus cases around the country, January is likely to be an even worse month than December.
- This warning comes the same week that the first cases of the UK coronavirus variant have been found in the US.
One day after the first of the more transmissible COVID variant from the UK was identified in the US, here's where things stand right now in terms of the number of coronavirus cases and deaths stateside. According to the latest information we have from Johns Hopkins University, there have been more than 19.5 million coronavirus cases identified in the US since the pandemic began, along with more than 339,000 deaths.
It's for that reason that White House health advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci has been warning people that not only are we at the worst point of the coronavirus pandemic thus far -- things are likely about to get even worse come January. That's a result of the fact that the record-setting number of COVID cases we're seeing now is going to turn into an explosion in hospitalizations, as well as COVID-related deaths. "We're in such a surge that has just gotten out of control in many respects," Dr. Fauci said earlier this week, during an interview with CNN's Jim Sciutto. "If you look at the history … we had a surge in the late winter, early spring, another surge in the early summer. We're, right now, in a surge whose incline, whose inflection, is very sharp."
