The U.S. Has the Worst Coronavirus Outbreak in the World

‘The numbers don’t lie,’ Dr. Fauci says

White House coronavirus advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci agreed on Wednesday that the United States has the worst coronavirus outbreak in the world, pointing to the nation’s high number of COVID-19 infections and deaths. 

“Yeah, it is quantitatively if you look at it, it is. I mean the numbers don’t lie,” Fauci said when asked during an interview with CNN’s Dr. Sanjay Gupta whether the U.S. had the world’s worst coronavirus outbreak.

The U.S., which accounts for less than 5 percent of the world population, leads all other countries in global coronavirus infections and deaths. The nation represents more than 22 percent of global coronavirus deaths and greater than 25 percent of infections as of Wednesday, according to Johns Hopkins University data.
