As the United States heads into flu season, Americans can't let up in the fight against the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, Dr. Anthony Fauci said Thursday.
Although the number of new daily cases of coronavirus in the U.S. has slowly been declining, the country is still closing in on 200,000 deaths from COVID-19 and more than 6 million confirmed infections.
“We need to hunker down and get through this fall and winter because it’s not going to be easy,” Fauci said.
Fauci also spoke about the COVID-19 vaccine trials and the possibility of post-Labor Day surges, noting that as one region in the U.S. gets it under control, another hot spot emerges — and that spikes inevitably appear whenever states lift social distancing restrictions.
“It’s really quite frankly depressing to see that because you know what's ahead,” he said.
Fauci’s sobering comments about the need for doctors and scientists to approach COVID-19 with “humility” came a day after President Donald Trump was heard in an audio clip acknowledging in February that he had minimized the seriousness of the pandemic.
“I still like playing it down because I don’t want to create a panic,” Trump said a month later in a call with the journalist Bob Woodward, according to the clip on The Washington Post’s website. Trump has been criticized for his response to the virus.

Go to hell, Fauci.
he needs to bunker down and shut up
Leave us alone Fauci. We have life to live, and risk is a major part of it.
Bunker him down for the duration.
why the hell hasn’t Trump canned this moron ages ago?
Today’s opinion flip-flop. Every 3-5 days, the message must be flipped to continue the gaslighting operation.
This guy is a hoot.
“””why the hell hasn’t Trump canned this moron ages ago?””
Because he is not a political appointment.
Will we still have to “hunker down” if Biden/Harris wins the election? Asking for a friend.
We’ve been hunkered down for over 6 mos now!
Life will kill you. — Warren Zevon
Ignore this globalist jackass.
Six more months of shutdown coming here in California because of this guy’s random spewings.
He needed to be fired months ago.

So the masks... don’t work?
Yes please Fauci, hunker down, disappear...aka f/&i

The problem for me is my wife who leans toward paranoia is completely buying this stuff without question. So we use freaking antiseptic on package deliveries for crying out loud.
Every time we talk to our neighbor sans mask for 5 minutes she starts to worry we got the COVID cooties.
This all but guarantees I am going to have a miserable winter since she believes this now-disproven ahole.
except for tinder and grindr
Yep. I don't know a single person who believes a word Fauci says anymore for the exact reason you cited: the constant flip-flopping.
For example: Remember when Fauci said the virus would be gone by November?
Well, is it?
