It does not mean the same number of infected, just spread out over time.
Please stream today's White House conference and listen for yourself. On the other hand, if you think Fauci doesn't know what he's talking about, that's a different matter.
Not trying to be argumentative, but misinformation is serving to make the outbreak worse.
