At the same time, top infectious disease expert Dr. Anthony Fauci advised citizens to “buckle down” as this week begins what experts are calling the start of the peak of the COVID19 virus.

This comes as the United States leads the world in confirmed cases and as we are rapidly approaching 10,000 deaths as a result of the novel coronavirus.As of Sunday morning, there were over 9,100 deaths and over 300,000 cases.
