The chief communicable disease expert, White House counselor Anthony Fuchi, said that the world is still in the first stage of the Corona virus epidemic.

"If different countries do not take measures to contain the virus, then we have to wait for the infection to spread more widely," Fauchi said in a statement to the Italian newspaper "Corriere della Sera", on Thursday.

He continued, "We have a problem in the United States because the epidemic is not under control. We see great waves of outbreaks in Brazil, South Africa and Asia now. We are only at the beginning of the global epidemic, which will likely be worse, before improvement begins. ”

Asked if the virus had become less lethal, Fauchi said: “I cannot give an accurate answer. And I don't think anyone else can. We may treat patients more effectively ... At this point, our health care system is not under extreme pressure as it was in northern Italy at the start of the epidemic. ”

He continued, "In the end, we see in the United States now more young people among the injured, compared to what was two months ago."
