White House health advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci said Covid-19 turned out to be his “worst nightmare” come to life as the coronavirus continues to rapidly spread across the globe.

The virus is “something that’s highly transmissible … in a period, if you just think about it, in a period of four months, it has devastated the world Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said in an interview with the BIO Digital virtual health-care conference that aired Tuesday.

“That’s millions and millions of infections worldwide. And it isn’t over yet. And it’s condensed in a very, very small timeframe,” he said. “You know, first notice that the end of December, hit China in January, hit the rest of the world and February, March, April, May, early June.”

The coronavirus, which emerged in Wuhan, China in late December, has infected more than 7 million people worldwide and killed at least 408,244, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University.
