US Director Of Infectious Diseases Dr. Fauci Says US Has The World's Worst COVID-19 Outbreak

Business Insider: 'Numbers don't lie': Fauci says you can't deny the US has the world's worst COVID-19 outbreak

* Dr. Anthony Fauci on Wednesday said "the numbers don't lie" when asked if the US has the worst coronavirus outbreak in the world.
* "Yeah, it is quantitatively if you look at it, it is. I mean the numbers don't lie," Fauci said.
* Fauci's comments on Wednesday stand in stark contrast with recent rhetoric from President Donald Trump, who has fervently defended his administration's handling of the pandemic as deaths and cases rise.
* Trump has repeatedly downplayed the impact of COVID-19 in the US.

Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation's top expert on infectious disease, on Wednesday was unequivocal that the US coronavirus outbreak is the worst in the world.

"We're not quite 5% of the world's population, yet represent 20-25% of the world's infections ... I mean, that has to be the worst. Is it not the worst?" CNN's Dr. Sanjay Gupta asked Fauci during an interview.

"Yeah, it is quantitatively if you look at it, it is. I mean the numbers don't lie," Fauci said.

His words directly undercut the misleading and rosy picture President Donald Trump has sought to paint around the COVID-19 outbreak in the US, which is part of a broader effort to downplay his administration's failures in responding to the pandemic.
