In this March 24, 2020, photo, Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, speaks about the coronavirus in the James Brady Briefing Room in Washington, as Dr. Deborah Birx, White House coronavirus response coordinator, listens. Like forecasters tracking a mega storm, White House officials are relying on statistical models to predict the impact of the coronavirus outbreak and try to protect as many people as possible. Birx and Fauci have been talking about the models at press briefings. Fauci on Sunday cited one estimate of 100,000 deaths. Birx has described how officials are working to refine their own model.
