Dr. Anthony Sauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases:
"Things will get worse." How much worse it will get depends on 2 things, he said:
1. containing the influx of infected people coming from other countries
2. containing local outbreaks within the U.S.
When pressed by lawmakers for an estimate of eventual fatalities in the U.S., Sauci said it will be “totally dependent upon how we respond to it.”
“I can’t give you a number,” he said. “I can’t give you a realistic number until we put into the factor of how we respond. If we’re complacent and don’t do really aggressive containment and mitigation, the number could go way up and be involved in many, many millions.”
