Fauci: The US Has ‘Done Worse Than Most Any Other Country’ in the Battle Against COVID-19
As the United States nears 500,000 COVID-19 deaths, Dr. Anthony Fauci told “Good Morning America” on Monday that the U.S. has “done worse than most any other country” in the battle against the coronavirus, despite being a “highly developed, rich country.”
“It’s so tough to just go back and try and, you know, do a metaphorical autopsy on how things went. It was just bad. It is bad now,” Fauci told ABC News chief anchor George Stephanopoulos.
The U.S. has by far the highest death toll, with at least 498,901 lives lost, followed by Brazil with 246,504 fatalities, according to data from Johns Hopkins University.
The U.S. is expected to reach the grim 500,000 death milestone on Monday, which Fauci called a “stunning figure.”
