VIDEO | Up to 200,000 Americans could die of COVID-19: Top expert
Up to 200,000 people in the United States could die of COVID-19 and millions of others be infected by the disease, the top infectious diseases expert in the US has warned.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, warned on CNN’s “State of the Union” that the global pandemic could kill between 100,000 and 200,000 Americans.
“Looking at what we’re seeing now, I would say between 100,000 and 200,000 deaths. We’re going to have millions of cases,” Fauci said, noting that projections were subject to change, given that COVID-19 outbreak was “such a moving target.”
The dire prediction came as people in and around the outbreak epicenter of New York were urged to limit their travel to curb further spread of the new coronavirus.
Trump says will not impose quarantine on COVID-19-hit New YorkUS President Donald Trump has said that he will not impose a quarantine on the hard-hit New York area to limit the spread of the coronavirus outbreak.
The COVID-19 disease, caused by a new coronavirus, jumped from wildlife to people in the Chinese city of Wuhan late last year and is currently affecting 199 countries and territories across the globe. It has so far affected more than 701,000 people and killed over 33,170.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has already declared the coronavirus outbreak a global pandemic.
As of Sunday, more than 131,360 people have tested positive for COVID-19 in the US, the most of any country in the world, and over 2,320 others have lost their lives. The infectious disease appeared in the US in late January.

Fauci said around 56 percent of the US’ new infections are coming from the New York City, whose mayor Bill de Blasio warned on Sunday that the city would need hundreds more ventilators in a few days and more masks, gowns and other supplies by April 5.
A shortage of medical supplies, particularly ventilators, in other major American cities worsened as the number of deaths crossed 2,100 on Saturday, more than double the toll from two days ago.
New Orleans will run out of ventilators around April 4 and officials in Louisiana still do not know whether they will receive any ventilators from the national stockpile, the governor said.
New Orleans, for its part, said that it would run out of ventilators around April 4.
Meanwhile, Louisiana’s Governor John Bel Edwards said his state had tried to order 12,000 ventilators from commercial vendors and but received only 192 to date, adding that it was not clear whether they would receive any ventilators from the national stockpile.
“We haven’t yet been approved for ventilators out of the national stockpile. I continue to press that case and I hope we will be cut in for a slice of what they have left. It is the one thing that really keeps me up at night,” he added.
Americans urged not to listen to Trump’s advice amid coronavirus pandemicFormer US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has joined urging Americans not to listen to President Donald Trump’s advice amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Doctors and medical staff are particularly concerned about the lack of ventilators and breathing machines needed by many of patients suffering from the pneumonia-like respiratory issues.
“We’re trying to keep our heads above water without drowning. We are scared. We’re trying to fight for everyone else’s life, but we also fight for our lives as well,” said Dr. Arabia Mollette, an emergency medicine physician at Brookdale and St. Barnabas Hospital in the Bronx.
According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the flu has killed between 12,000 and 61,000 people in the US since 2010. The 1918-19 flu pandemic claimed the lives of 675,000 others in the US.
Earlier in the week, a prediction by Israel’s health ministry showed that up to 11 million people could likely die of COVID-19 in the US in the worst scenario.
