Infectious Disease Expert Makes Chilling Prediction For States Reopening Amid Pandemic

Infectious disease expert Michael Osterholm warned that the states starting to reopen amid the coronavirus pandemic “will pay a big price later on.”

Osterholm, the director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota, told CNN’s Jake Tapper on Thursday that states like Georgia, Colorado and others that are easing social distancing restrictions were “putting gasoline on fire.”

“I think right now, this is one of the things we’ve learned, if we’re going to learn to live with this, then you just don’t walk in the face of it and spit in its eye, because it will hit you,” said Osterholm.

“And I think that that’s a really important issue right now,” he continued. “When we have transmission increasing, when our hospitals are not able to take care of it and we don’t have enough testing to even know what’s going on, then that’s not the time to loosen up.”

1. One thing he may not have considered:

Alot of people in my state are not listening to the governor. Plenty of people are ignoring his declaration to open the state.

2. Apparently, some Republicans don't view The Great Culling as a necessarily bad thing.

4. The 2nd wave is coming.

We will ease up. We will do little to prepare. Those smart enough and privileged will stay the fuck home and avoid the disaster.

5. I just saw a reporter on FOX say that the cases in Georgia have been going down steadily.

Followed by footage of smiling people getting haircuts, women in salons, people walking into restaurants.
