Fauci Warns Coronavirus Could Be As Serious As 1918 Flu

Fauci warns that the coronavirus could be as serious as the 1918 flu, which killed 50 million people. He also warns the coronavirus could become the "mother of all pandemics" as Trump holds campaign-like rally in Rose Garden. Fauci takes a swipe at Trump and says to "stick with respected medical authorities who have a track record of telling the truth." A study shows a vaccine has "promising" immune response in early trial. The CDC director estimates that the United States has "actually" had 20 million infections and that "we only diagnosed two million." Texas reports record high in new cases and hospitalizations. Texas reports record high 10,745 cases in one day as Florida reports highest number of deaths. There are at least 27 states pausing or rolling back reopening of states. The Trump Administration is reversing policy and won't deny international students visas if colleges are online. Fauci says that "we should try as best as possible" to open schools. Trump claims that children and parents are dying by keeping schools closed. Trump pushes to reopen all schools as Fauci says to consider "dynamics of outbreak in your particular region." Trump defends the confederate flag as "free speech." To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
