Fauci says the coronavirus could be 'one of those things we look back on and say boy, that was bad'

One of the nation's leading infectious disease experts said the coronavirus outbreak in the US "could be really, really bad."

In an interview with Politico, which was published Tuesday, Dr. Anthony Fauci said he doesn't think "we are going to get out of this completely unscathed."

"I think that this is going to be one of those things we look back on and say boy, that was bad," the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases told Politico's Sarah Owermohle.

The NIAID is a branch of the National Institutes of Health. As director of the NIAID for the past 35 years, Fauci has led the response to outbreaks including Zika, Ebola, and the HIV/AIDS epidemic.

3. I'm already hearing the dailly RW talking point

"Obama didn't declare swine flu an emergency until after a thousand were dead."

The Flu and the Coronavirus are NOT the same thing.

Flu and Swine Flu are NOT new and they have vaccines, even if they're not 100% effective.

Coronavirus is NEW - there is NO vaccine yet.

4. The only thing that gave me any confidence (low)

Was that Anthony Fauci is involved. I hope he lasts.
