EXCERPT:
FAUCI: "You know, it will feel over in a real sense when it gets to such a low level in society that it doesn’t disrupt the social order, the way it is here, requiring people to wear masks, all kinds of things like that. What the President was referring to is that the very acute fulminant stage of the outbreak, where we were getting 900,000 cases a day and 3,000 to 4,000 deaths, that’s not where we are right now. We’re way down in cases, but we’re also way down in deaths. But the level that we’re at, Stephen, is not really acceptable. I don’t feel comfortable at all with saying we can live with 400 deaths a day. We have got to get the level of infection and the level of deaths and hospitalizations far, far lower so that it is not eradicated — we’re not going to completely get rid of this — but we want to get it to a level that’s so low it just doesn’t disrupt society."
