Fauci: March 2020: ‘It’s Possible’ Hundreds Of Thousands Could Die From COVID. Fauci Now: I Did Not Expect It To Be That High.

On Sunday, appearing on ABC News’ “This Week” with guest host Martha Raddatz, Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director at the National Institute of Allergy & Infectious Diseases, stated that he had not expected the number of deaths from the coronavirus, which have reached 350,000 in the United States, to be so high.

Last March, on CNN’s “State of the Union,” host Brianna Keilar asked, “Are you thinking that hundreds of thousands of Americans could die from this?” Fauci answered, “Yes, it is possible.”
