The outbreak of the new coronavirus in the United States will get worse, a top public health official told lawmakers on Wednesday.
“How much worse we'll get will depend on our ability to do two things: to contain the influx of people who are infected coming from the outside, and the ability to contain and mitigate within our own country,” said Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases at the National Institutes of Health, during a House oversight hearing in Washington.
