Washington, Nov 2 (TIWN) Amid the ongoing resurgence of new Covid-19 cases in the US, Anthony Fauci, America's top infectious disease expert, has slammed the White House over its response to the pandemic, saying the spike was "not a good situation".

"We're in for a whole lot of hurt. It's not a good situation," The Hill news website reported on Sunday citing Fauci, a member of the White House coronavirus task force, as saying in an interview to The Washington Post.  The Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases said that "all the stars are aligned in the wrong place as you go into the fall and winter season, with people congregating at home indoors".  "You could not possibly be positioned more poorly," he added.  Fauci further said that Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden was "taking it (pandemic) seriously from a public health perspective", while President Donald Trump is "looking at it from a different perspective" by focusing on "the economy and reopening the country".  In another claim, the top health expert added that the White House coronavirus task force has had fewer meetings despite the continued resurgence.
