Fauci coming up on CNN in a few

I really feel that Don the Criminally Negligent Con should be investigated for this Covid-19 slaughter.

He is reckless, ignorant and self- serving.

Bet that rally is a big flop! On the other hand I hope he catches it.

She commutes from the bedroom 20 feet over the the library as we call it.

I have to come aaaaallllll the way downstairs, get my laptop and mouse, and sit at my desk.





The struggle is real.

(wish that it were)

he would catch it and have a REALLY BAD CASE. Last image of him in ICU, intubated and alone.

Close up of his frightened eyes.

End.

A girl can dream, can't she?

Asked a lot of hypotheticals about states with rising cases (are they testing, isolating, contact tracing?).

Was expecting to hear “I was on the phone with those states making sure they were...”.

Pretty thin soup. Was strong on mask wearing and being careful though.

Also could not get baited into criticizing our failed response and complete lack of interest these days by drumpf and co.

It's a surreal time in the U.S. when an infectious disease expert has to walk on eggshells because he's continuously undermined by a pompous lunatic that's squatting in the White House.

.... he can say that we should be measuring by county to set the NPI levels including SIP if the relative Ro stays above 1.2 for more than 2 weeks.

Fauci can say that we can get back to more normality if we had a quick turn around highly accurate test like Pence promised nearly 2 months ago and said it was not delivered because of staffing, there's no staffing issues now.

Fauci can say a lot, he doesn't want to and his silence is allowing Red Don to kill a lot of people

12. CNN headline: Fauci says second wave is 'not inevitable' as coronavirus cases climb in some states

CURRENT HEADLINE ON CNN.

(CNN)Coronavirus cases are on an upswing in several states and the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says cases could rise this summer as states reopen. But the nation's top infectious disease expert said a second wave of the virus later this year is not inevitable.

More than 2 million people in the US have been infected by the virus and at least 114,669 have died from it, according to data from Johns Hopkins University. A forecast published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Friday projects the death toll could increase to 130,000 by July 4.

Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said a recent increase in coronavirus cases in a number of states is not necessarily a "second spike."

"However, when you start to see increases in hospitalization, that's a surefire situation that you've got to pay close attention to," Fauci told CNN on Friday.
