US Surgeon General: There’s Every Chance That We Could Be Italy

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. surgeon general says the United States is about where Italy was two weeks ago in the coronavirus struggle. That’s a sign that infections are expected to rise in America as the government steps up testing and financial markets continue to fall. Surgeon General Dr. Jerome Adams told Fox News on Monday that “there’s every chance that we could be Italy,” yet there are opportunities to mitigate the crisis.  He says the U.S. is at a critical point in the pandemic. The U.S. is racing to make testing more available after lagging on that vital front.
