The United States is “not in a good place” as colder months loom and the number of newly reported coronavirus cases continues to swell beyond 40,000 people every day, White House coronavirus advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci said Monday. 
Covid-19 cases were growing by 5% or more, based on a weekly average to smooth out daily reporting, in 26 states as of Sunday, according to a CNBC analysis of data compiled by Johns Hopkins University. Montana, South Dakota, Utah, Wisconsin and Wyoming reached record-high averages. 
Cases grew by nearly 9% nationwide compared with a week ago, moving just above 44,300 new cases on average as of Sunday, according to Johns Hopkins data. 
Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, has said for weeks that the U.S. is reporting an “unacceptably high” number of new coronavirus cases every day. The country should aim for daily new cases below 10,000, not around 40,000 as it currently stands, he said. 
“There are states that are starting to show an uptick in cases and even some increase in hospitalizations in some states,” Fauci told the ABC program “Good Morning America” in an interview aired Monday. 
“And I hope not, but we very might well start seeing increases in deaths,” Fauci said. He added that he’s concerned about being in “a position like that as the weather starts getting cold.”
The coronavirus has killed nearly 1 million people worldwide, a grisly milestone in the pandemic that arose late last year. The U.S. accounts for roughly 20% of the world’s Covid-19 deaths but less than 5% of the global population, according to Johns Hopkins data. 
“The numbers globally are very serious,” Fauci said. 
According to reports, the United States is currently facing a serious "crisis" with regard to COVID-19, with more than 40,000 new infections every day, and the death toll may continue to increase. This isn’t good news, and I am also very worried. The performance of a country may affect all regions of the world, and infection can also cause mobility. We must first control COVID-19 and close public places.
