Faucie: The figure of Ovidic-19 victims higher than what was reported

He told a Senate panel that is investigating the United States' response to the pandemic that an uncountable number of Coronavirus victims, especially in New York City, have died at home without being officially involved in the total number of deaths at the national level, but declined to speculate on how far this figure might have been.

Dr. Fauci warned that it is “totally possible” which the pandemic “s can get worse” In the United States in autumn months from September to November, but said he hoped that by that time the country would “could handle” better than yet.

President Donald Trump has urged businesses and state governors to reopen the world's largest economy and all governors, with certain exceptions, have issued orders recently to reopen several shops, restaurants and offices on condition that they take measures to meet some precautionary conditions.

But Dr. Fauci, in testimony from his house on the outskirts of Washington, said that “There is a real danger that we can face a preventable explosion” If government guidelines calling for a steady decline in the number of cases for a two-week period are ignored before there is a return to normal life in the United States.

“The consequences can be severe,” He said.

Clinical evidence for the vaccine against Avid-19

Dr. Fauci said eight vaccines against coronarys are developing in the United States.

“If we're successful,” He said, We hope to learn (their result) at the end of autumn, or early winter. ”

But he said it is still distant for millions of students and students who would return to universities and schools throughout the country in August and September.

President Trump has said there has been a significant increase in coronary testing in the United States, more than in any other country, although some reports say the United States is not ranked among the top 20 countries in the number of tests administered to report the population.

Our tests are the best in the world! ” President Trump said on Twitter several hours before the hearing in the Senate began. “Shifrat (the cases of coronary) are falling to most of our country, which wants to open up and start work again. This is happening safely! ”

But a frequent critic of President Trump, Republican Senator from Utah, Mitt Romney, said at the hearing that, For me, our testing rates don't deserve to be celebrated. ”

Senator Lamar Alexander, who conducted the Senate session while continuing to be in self-isolation at his home in Tennessee, said: We need mass testing, millions more tests to give Americans enough faith to get back to work and school. ”

The Admiral of the Navy, Brett Gyroir, assistant secretary at the Health Department, told lawmakers that 9 million tests for choreography have been administered in the United States, of which more than 1.3 million people have resulted in infection.

He said 240 testing centres are currently in operation in the United States and that another 12.9 million people will be tested over the next four weeks. Mr. Giroir said there will be an apparent increase in the number of tests in the coming months, possibly reaching 40 million to 50 million tests per month from September.

President Trump said on a Twitter post: Remember this, any governor who has high support for handling the Coronavirus case, which makes me happy for everyone, could by no means have received this level of support or success without my help or the help of the federal government. From aspiring to testing, we made these possible! ”

Changed carat

Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Infectious Diseases, is in one “modified” As he was in contact last week with Vice President Mike Pence's press secretary, Katie Miller, who has resulted in a positive test for Corleone.

Three other senior health officials in the United States, Stephen Hahn, Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Robert Redfield, director of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Brett Giroir, also testified from distance through videoconference. The hearing was conducted by Senator Lamar Alexander, who is in self-isolation at his home in Tennessee.

Redfield said: We must be vigilant. Physical dystantiation (two meters apart) remains necessary. ”

Democrats criticised President Trump's reaction to Devvi-19

The Senate for Health, Education, Job and Pensions' hearings were organised under the title “COVID-19: Safe return to work and school”. But the democratic minority in the republican-led panel used it as an opportunity to attack the failure of President Trump's administration to deal quickly and appropriately with the spread of the disease while it was advancing from China earlier this year.

Senator Patty Murray, a Democrat from the western state of Washington, said: President Trump has tried to ignore the facts and experts”.

At a moment earlier this year, President Trump assured the Americans that the disease would soon be eliminated. Now, more than 80,000 deaths from COVID-19 have been officially registered in the United States, and health experts at Washington University are predicting that more than 137,000 Americans will die from this disease by August.

Dr. Fauci has often appeared at the White House press conferences on Coronavirus along with President Trump, where he in some cases has been placed in a difficult position because his predictions contradicted the president's positive predictions that the pandemic was under control in the United States and that the country could resume normal life by reopening shops, restaurants and businesses. /VOA
