Dr. Fauci says a false slide into more hospitalizations and deaths is not inevitable but things dont look good. Just under 30,000 new infections every day and six states pushing down their infection curve. Dr. Fauci also taking issue with cdc guidelines.

Hospitalizations, how are you doing . Good morning. Thanks for asking. Our data is relatively constant in the past week or two at the highest levels weve ever seen.

It might not be over yet, we will speak with the governor of michigan in just a moment. More states also issuing new coronavirus restrictions, including curfews, mask mandates and business closures. 19 states are dealing with record hospitalizations.
