Donald Trump took to Twitter to express his against China as he watched “the (Covid-19) pandemic spread its ugly face all across the world. As I watch the Pandemic spread its ugly face all across the world, including the tremendous damage it has done to the USA, I become more and more angry at China," Trump tweeted.
Amid a surge in US cases, particularly in the south and west, infectious disease expert Anthony Fauci told Congress earlier Tuesday that things were "going in the wrong direction," and that "clearly we are not in total control right now." He also warned that cases could more than double to 100,000 per day if authorities and the public fail to take steps to suppress the pandemic. The US accounted for the world's highest number of infections and fatalities with 2,629,372 and 127,322, respectively, according to the CSSE.
