President Donald Trump pushed pharmaceutical executives on Monday to develop a coronavirus within 'a couple of months' - as the U.S. death toll reached six. But he was warned by his own most senior expert, Dr. Tony Fauci, who told the president directly that he had repeatedly told him it would take at least a year.

'We're working very hard to expedite the longer process of developing a vaccine. We're also moving with maximum speed to develop a therapy so that we can help people recover as quickly as possible and a lot of recovery going on,' the president said during a one-hour briefing in the Cabinet room with executives from 10 pharmaceutical and bio-tech companies.

Coronavirus fatalities rise to SIX in the US after four new deaths in the Seattle area, as top infectious disease official warns the crisis has reached 'pandemic proportions'

The coronavirus death toll in the U.S. has risen to six as the top infectious disease official in the country warned the disease had likely reached 'pandemic proportions'.

Health officials announced on Monday that four additional people had died in Washington state. Two other patients in that same area died over the weekend. Five of the six deaths have been linked to the LifeCare long-term aged care facility in Kirkland just outside Seattle.

It came after Dr Anthony Fauci, the head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, has warned that the coronavirus has likely reached 'pandemic proportions'. He said that the disease had now reached 'outbreak proportions' as 100 cases were confirmed across the U.S.

Dr Fauci went on to say the U.S. might need to consider social mitigation, including closing down schools and not allowing events where large crowds are in confined spaces.

It comes after a New York doctor warned coronavirus cases in the U.S. will surge into the thousands by next week and the former head of the FDA claimed three critical weeks were lost in containing the spread of the virus due to faulty test kits given out by the government.

State and local authorities are now also stepping up testing for the illness as the number of new cases grew to 100 across the U.S. on Monday, with new infections announced in California, Florida, Illinois, Rhode Island, New York and Washington state.

EDITOR’S NOTE: It started with the President saying our intelligence services got it all wrong, then contradicting brain specialists, and now health experts.
