Iran Press/ America: Anthony Fauci said; "You have to be having blindfolds on and covering your ears to think that we don't live in a very divisive society now."
"You would have to make the assumption that if there wasn't such divisiveness, that we would have a more coordinated approach," Fauci said.
In his latest rebuke to US President Donald Trump, who has repeatedly touted alleged progress the United States has made in tackling the COVID-19 outbreak, Fauci acknowledged that the country has performed poorly in the battle against COVID-19.
"As a country, when you compare us to other countries, I don't think you can say we're doing great. I mean, we're just not," he remarked.
More than 3,131,400 people in the United States have been infected with the coronavirus and at least 133,000 have died, yet case numbers are surging throughout much of the United States.
According to the latest figures published by Johns Hopkins University, more than 12.3 million cases have been detected with the virus worldwide, with at least 557,000 deaths, and 7,188,000 people have recovered.
