The 79 year old head guy (expert) at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and member of the Trump administration’s coronavirus task force, IS running the show…And he wants a shutdown of America…
Fauci directions ARE what federal , state and local government officials are trying to follow…
(Absent Donald Trump ‘s bull shit)
Fauci is a scientist….
He does NOT have the worry or responsibility of what this actions cause collaterally with the public and economy…
That falls on the politicians …Who have to balance this for the greater good of the people who DO have live their lives virus or not…
Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and member of the Trump administration’s coronavirus task force, did the full Ginsburg on Sunday morning and appeared on all five major Sunday news shows to discuss the coronavirus crisis. His message: America should prepare for a nationwide shutdown to slow the spread of COVID-19.
Reacting to images of crowded bars and restaurants across the country this weekend, the infectious diseases expert noted that much of the American public did not appear to be taking the threat of the virus seriously.
“I would like to see a dramatic diminution of the personal interaction we see in restaurants and in bars,” Fauci told guest host Brianna Keilar on CNN’s State of the Union. “Whatever it takes to do that, that’s what I would like to see.”
Asked on Meet the Press if it was a mistake that bars and restaurants hadn’t been temporarily shut down over the St. Patrick’s Day weekend while European countries are on lockdown to mitigate the crisis, Fauci said America should implement closures, especially “in those areas that have community spread.”
“The question is you want to bring down and hunker down everywhere, even more so,” he added. “Everybody has to get involved in distancing themselves socially. If you are in an area where there’s clear community spread, you have to be much, much more intense about how you do that.”
Host Chuck Todd, meanwhile, wanted to know if Fauci would call for a national 14-day shutdown to slow the spread, particularly if the federal government could treat this as a natural disaster and give people money for the basics.
“You know, I would prefer as much as we possibly could,” Fauci replied. “I think we should really be overly aggressive and get criticized for overreacting.”
He also said that he had made this view known within the administration, adding that Americans should be prepared for more closures….

So ,in essence, Fauci backs up everything the “media” is reporting.
In fact he says it would be better to overreact!
Yet all you can do is criticize the media yet praise hm?
As usual, you contradict yourself over and over,just mindlessly banging away at the keyboard…
Silly.

Fauci:Americans are going to have to hunker down significantly more.
The Media:Much more sacrifice is going to be called for.
James:Wash your hands and screw the media and there are people in stores grumbling.
