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.

I wonder how many polling places will be taking people’s temperature as they enter? “Temperature too high? Sorry, you can’t vote...”
Judging the past by the present is bullshit.
It was a different country then.
Badmouthing Reagan is nonsense.
FU Fauci. GTFO of this country.
Go away Tony.
So, he wants us to be like C-5 cargo planes - aptly nicknamed the “Linda Lovelace” because it hunkered down and took it from both ends...
How’s that song go - Sorry Fauci, we’re not gonna take it anymore...
Cower At Home!
GFY Fakey!
Fauci needs to be prepare to retire to a New York nursing home. There’s plenty of vacancy.
He’s just covering his ass.
I hate facts too. You think putting factual information out is bashing. Interesting.
Fauci needs to hunker down in Gitmo
The latter sentence is your opinion.
Unless you’re merely stating they are not the same human...
What happened to his, ‘100,000 new cases every DAY’ prediction? *Crickets Chirping*
He sounds like Biden, back when he was campaigning with 0bama, ‘We’re going to create 400,000 jobs each week!’
All Democrats are liars and dopes.
LIBERATE WISCONSIN! LIBERATE AMERICA!
He has changed his story so many times that he is totally unbelievable. FU Fauci.
Do you like helicopter rides, Anthony?
I’m saying that I’ve had it with this doctor so I did a search of who put this idiot in charge. I actually was expecting Obama. But nope it was Reagan. Get it?
That was not the point of your second sentence, and you know it.
Dear Dr. Fauxi:
Put on your mask/eyeshade
Put in your earplugs
You KNOW where to put the cork!
Cuz, WE’RE not gonna take it!
I don’t see him hunkering down. He’s everywhere!
F.U.F.
