Dr. Anthony Fauci, the head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said in a panel on Thursday that the U.S. should be ready to “hunker down” in its fight against the coronavirus and indicated that the fall and winter will not be easy.
“We’ve been through this before,” he told a panel of doctors from Harvard Medical School, according to the Hill. “Don’t ever, ever underestimate the potential of the pandemic. And don’t try to look at the rosy side of things.”
The Associated Press reported that winter is ending in the Southern Hemisphere and countries noted that steps to prevent the virus’ spread also limited the flu outbreak. The report said that it is not a certainty that the Northern Hemisphere will have the same outcome.
“This could be one of the worst seasons we’ve had from a public health perspective with COVID and flu coming together. But it also could be one of the best flu seasons we’ve had,” Dr. Robert Redfield, director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, told The Associated Press.
Fauci appeared on Fox News earlier this week to respond to comments President Trump made to journalist Bob Woodward about playing down the virus’ potency.
"The Daily Briefing," host John Roberts asked Fauci if he thought Trump had played down the threat of the virus.
No, I didn't," Fauci responded. "I didn't get any sense that he was distorting anything. I mean in my discussions with him, they were always straightforward about the concerns that we had. We related that to him. And when he would go out, I'd hear him discussing the same sort of things.

The world has hunkered down for six months and it has been a devastating blow to everyone without pandemic success. If we “hunker down” much more, there will be no life worth living.
Let me guess half of all conservatives will get it the week before the election and be forced to stay home not being allowed to vote. </sarcasm alert>
Will this dwarf just go away
This little fear mongering, prick needs to STFU.
He has had nothing to do with clinical medicine for years.
He really has no idea what he is talking about. He hasn’t the slightest idea whether this virus will have a resurgence or not.
What is the point of instilling constant fear?
What is his hidden agenda?
People like him cannot he trusted.
Hunker down on THIS Fauci!
Fauci is the BERNIE MADOFF of modern day medicine!
Yeah.. we should just have total lockdown.. no social gatherings, no holiday celebrations, no family time, we a full facial mast and goggles, even inside the home, no exiting the home for any reason except a supervised medical appointment on a sterilized bus...
Because “alone together.”
*wear a full mask...
If we “hunker down” much more, there will be no life worth living
Stay with us at least until election day
From June 30th. The highest single day number reached since then i believe was 77,000 and we’ve been trending 1/4 of his prediction:
“Dr. Anthony Fauci says U.S. coronavirus outbreak is ‘going to be very disturbing,’ could top 100,000 new cases a day” https://www.cnbc.com/2020/06/30/fauci-says-us-coronavirus-outbreak-is-going-to-be-very-disturbing-could-top-100000-cases-a-day.html
I need to get back to Peru. I was suppose to be there in November which is likely not going to happen. This was suppose to be a 14 day to flatten the curve.
Something tells us that we still need Fauci for something (he does seem like he’s smart on these issues) but he needs to be moved down quite a bit. Give him a lab all by himself and tell him not to come out until he finds a cure.
We need someone else as a spokesperson and leading this crisis. He’s failed.

Correction: Something tells ME that we still need Fauci for something (he does seem like he’s smart on these issues) but he needs to be moved down quite a bit. Give him a lab all by himself and tell him not to come out until he finds a cure.
I will not include anyone else for my naive thinking which could change any minute now.
Yeah you little imp go hunker down with your Ken doll collection but I am going to live my life the way I see fit
I already partially feel like that.
Enough could bes, mays, possiblys, and mights. Give us a reasoned, scientific assessment of the situation, or shut up.
Fauci is a celebrity, and enjoys being on camera. After all this he will write a book and appear on the view, raking in the cash.
Nothing a celebrity says is worth listening to.
Reagan appointee this creep. Reagan sure was no trump!
Unless the Left continues to weaponize it and their “agents” can seed areas to spread the China Virus..
Dumb observation:
With all these protesters and rioters you hear nothing of them catching Covid-19 or even spreading it as they get up in people’s faces at restaurants etc. All that contamination of surfaces and each other...
Are they immune for some top secret reason?
Shouldn’t they be getting sick and even passing away from Covid?
Fauci is going to tell me these mobs are better at social distancing and sanitation than the grandma that lives next door to me?
I don’t think so Fauci. It sounds like you want more people to act like sitting ducks.
