Dr Anthony Fauci, the top disease researcher has told the US Senate that he"would
not be surprised" if new virus cases in the country reach 100,000 per day.
"Clearly we are not in control right now," he testified, warning that not enough
Americans are wearing masks or social distancing.
During the hearing, he said about half of all new cases come from four states whichh
are Florida, Arizona, Texs and California.
The surge - which is occurring particularly strongly in southern and western states -
has forced at least 16 states to pause or reverse their reopening plans, according
to CNN
The New York governor said nearly half of all Americans must self-quarantine if they
visit the state.
On Tuesday, cases rose by more than 40,000 in one day for the fourth time in the
past five days.
