Anthony Fauci committee exchange over coronavirus mortality into 2021

California Congresswoman Doris Matsui asks National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Anthony Fauci by videoconference at a House Energy and Commerce Committee hearing on the federal coronavirus response about projected infection and mortality rates for the second half 2020 and early 2021, Smith answering it was impossible to give a projection about fatality depending on so many factors but when people talk about the second waves as he it said publicly United States was still in the middle of a first wave so to get the outbreak under control over the next couple most before entering into the fall and early winter with a low baseline so when the inevitable situation of cases appearing while trying to gradually reopen the country to varying degrees depending on what state, city, town or county one was in was very low to contain which meant to identify, isolate and contact trace rather than have such a high level that among increases one had to mitigate right from the beginning.
