Fauci on Sunday, in CNN's State of the Union was asked why the US administration didn't follow the advice by him&nbsp;and other doctors on social distancing in Febrauary in the wake of coronavirus. "As I have said many times, we look at it from a pure health standpoint. We make a recommendation. Often, the recommendation is taken. Sometimes, it's not," Fauci said.&nbsp;

CNN host Jake Tapper asked Fauci if more people could have been saved in the country if social distancing measures were adopted in the country in the third-week of February, instead of mid-March.

“It’s very difficult to go back and say that,” Fauci said, adding this fact couldn't be denied.&nbsp;

“But what goes into those kinds of decisions is complicated. But you’re right. I mean, obviously, if we had, right from the very beginning, shut everything down, it may have been a little bit different. But there was a lot of pushback about shutting things down back then,” Fauci said.&nbsp;

The coronavirus outbreak that has killed more than 100,000 people worldwide has affected the US the most. So far, 21,489 people died in the country from COVID-19 and infections stand nearly at 555,000.&nbsp;
