Top government infectious disease expert Dr. Anthony Fauci is expecting a turnaround in the pandemic next week due to social distancing measures that have driven down new hospitalization rates.

“At the same time as we’re seeing an increase in death, like typically what we’re seeing now in New York, over the last few days, there’s been a stabilization and a decrease in the hospitalizations, admissions to intensive care, and the requirements for intubations,” Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, told Fox News Wednesday.
