Fauci: Earlier COVID-19 action would have saved more American lives

Anthony Fauci, one of the leading health experts on the U.S. coronavirus task force, said on Sunday that earlier COVID-19 mitigation efforts would have saved more American lives.

The expert, who has advised six successive presidents, made the remark in a CNN interview when he was asked if lives could have been saved in the U.S. with earlier mitigation.

"If we had, right from the beginning, shut everything down, it may have been a little bit different," said Fauci. 

However, he further added that making that decision was complicated, saying there was a lot of "pushback" about shutting things down back then.
