“There is no escaping the numbers,” said Fauci to guest presenter Martha Raddatz on ABC’s “This Week” program.

“It is something that we absolutely have to grab and put our arms around and turn it around, to decrease this inflection by a very intense adherence to public health measures uniformly across the country, without exceptions,” he added.

Statistics from John Hopkins University show that 350,215 deaths have been reported in the United States so far, a number that has been growing rapidly in the past two months.

“I didn’t” expected the death toll to reach the recent 350,000 mark in the United States, Fauci said.

“But, you know, this is what happens when you are in a situation where there are outbreaks related to so many factors inconsistent with adherence to public health measures, the winter months now coming with the cold allowing or essentially forcing people they do most of their things indoors, rather than outdoors. “

“The goal of vaccinating 100 million people in the first 100 days is a realistic goal. We can serve 1 million people a day, ”said Fauci. “You know we did massive vaccination programs, Martha, in our history. There is no reason why we cannot do this now. “
