According to CNBC, the number of additional infections in the United States has not fallen below 10,000 since March 2020. Anthony Fauci, the White House's chief medical adviser, said on Sunday that the us would need "well below 10,000" cases to return to pre-pandemic life. Fauci also said the high number of confirmed cases showed the US was "very poorly controlled". The increase in cases in the United States, which has averaged between 70,000 and 75,000 a day for nearly three weeks, began to rise again over the weekend. Fauci said the high number of confirmed cases showed "very poor" containment in the United States. He warned that without proper public health precautions, the United States could be "in trouble" heading into winter.
