Fauci warns of ‘suffering and death’ if US reopens too soon
The Associated Press ^ | May 12, 2020 | By RICARDO ALONSO-ZALDIVAR and LAURAN NEERGAARD

WASHINGTON - Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s top infectious disease expert, is warning Congress that if the country reopens too soon during the coronavirus pandemic, it will result in “needless suffering and death.”

Fauci is among the health experts testifying to a Senate panel. His testimony comes as President Donald Trump is praising states that are reopening after the prolonged lock-down aimed at controlling the virus’ spread.

Fauci, in a statement to The New York Times, warned that officials should adhere to federal guidelines for a phased reopening, including a “downward trajectory” of positive tests or documented cases of coronavirus over two weeks, robust contact tracing and “sentinel surveillance” testing of asymptomatic people in vulnerable populations, such as nursing homes.

“If we skip over the checkpoints in the guidelines...then we risk the danger of multiple outbreaks throughout the country,” Fauci wrote. “This will not only result in needless suffering and death, but would actually set us back on our quest to return to normal.”

The health committee hearing offers a very different setting from the White House coronavirus task force briefings the administration witnesses have all participated in. Senators on the panel are knowledgeable and some have working relationships that go back years with the agencies that the panelists are representing. Most significantly, President Donald Trump will not be controlling the agenda.

Without a vaccine, there is no way to prevent the spread of tis disease. But as we’ve known since Wuhan, most people are fine. Some people won’t be fine.

Take some minimal precautions and the system will handle it.

So, unless Fauci has a vaccine...there is not a lot of choice.

So, unless Fauci has a vaccine..

He's cock sure that he'll have one in 18 months or less.

Despite the fact that his 30 year quest for an AIDS vaccine has been an EPIC FAIL.

Delay, delay, delay.
This sure does sound like the DNC roadmap when they want to block Trump getting something done.
This does NOT sound like the GOP-e.

Fauci’s annual taxpayer-funded salary is $384,000 and he has a posh mansion in DC. He doesn’t view this through the same prism as the struggling entrepreneur who lays awake at night, sweating over whether his or her business is going to survive. Fauci doesn’t give two shits about the common folk, because his situation is secure.

The media acting as of this guy hasn’t been heard from outside the briefings. As if he never gives countless interviews on CNN.

By now, this guy’s credibility is in the gutter.

Sheltering and cowering in place can kill you and your loved ones!:

Heather Mac Donald, the Thomas W. Smith Fellow at the Manhattan Institute, writing in the Hill:

“On Wednesday, Cuomo announced the “shocking” news that 84 percent of all hospital admissions were either people sheltering at home or nursing home residents. He shouldn’t have been surprised. The risk of coronavirus infection occurs overwhelmingly indoors. Researchers in China identified only one outdoor outbreak of infection among over a thousand cases studied.

Most transmissions occurred at home, rendering the close-down-all-businesses-and-shelter-in-place rule contraindicated.”

Study reveals that vitamin D likely to reduce serious coronavirus complications:

Vitamin D is produced in the skin from UVB sunlight exposure and is transported to the liver and then the kidney where it is changed into an active hormone that increases calcium transport from food in the gut and ensures calcium is adequate to keep the skeleton strong and free of osteoporosis.

The study found that vitamin D can also support the immune system through a number of immune pathways involved in fighting SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes Covid-19.

Fauci and his media thugs have never really cared about our health.

Someone remind this little fool that 7 states did not ever issue lockdown edicts and that Georgia opened 2 weeks ago and there has been no increase in deaths.
In fact, the incidence of death and hospitalizations in all 8 of those states has decreased appreciably.
But, he’s a FearBro and FearBro’s are gonna cry wolf. It’s just what they do.

I think Fauci is unconsciously thinking his own “death and suffering” (job-wise) when the U.S. opens up.

Yes it’s “needless” in the sense people won’t die of any infectious diseases if we could put them all in bubbles.

Not against social distancing, masks, hygiene, etc.

But it’s emerging that NY & NJ in particular helped cause half the deaths by pushing the infected into nursing homes.

a vaccine will help. it even that is not100%. No vaccine is perfect and there are many people who will not get it for one reason or another. Look at the flu. we have a vaccine but flu still kills as many people per year as covid has killed this year. We need to live with this thing and get about our lives
