... The U.S. government’s foremost infection disease expert says the United States could experience more than 100,000 deaths and millions of infections from the coronavirus pandemic. ... “I would say between 100,000 and 200,000 cases,” he said, correcting himself to say he meant deaths. “We’re going to have millions of cases.” But he added “I don’t want to be held to that” because the pandemic is “such a moving target.” ...

Common sense tells us that. China had the breakout in October, we didn’t cut off flights from China till January.
If you look at the CDC stats there was a surge of so called Flu cases at the hospitals in December and early January.

this information has been out there for sometime now, you just hearing about it.

Fauci is really covering all his bases in a political manner. I expect he’ll be “retiring” the day after POTUS is reelected.

Just my opinion, he was not wrong then and he is getting really exhausted now. The enemy that is media are pressing an old man for data points they can us to keep the panic going. The press, like their massahs the demon rat party, are all in to stop Trump’s re=election.

...and calling in FEMA who he knew he could depend on.

Big f'n mistake...adding another bureaucratic layer, like that.

“Facts aren’t fearmongering.”

facts aren’t, but wild-ass model predictions are ... fauci basically said he had no idea, threw out a number and then said “don’t hold me to it” ... naturally, the trump-hating, lying fake stream enemedia turns that into a hard “fact”, which it’s not; here’s a link to the interview for anyone who cares to see what Fauci ACTUALLY SAID (relevant part starts at 3:45):

I think you’re approaching the issue in an intelligent way. It doesn’t have to be “It’s just the flu, bro” versus “You want to kill grandma!”

I’ve not seen any reports that China had the breakout earlier than November. And it wasn’t very many cases at that point.

Common sense tells me that every year we have a surge of Flu cases in the hospitals in December and early January.

If this has been around, there would have been cases of ARDS showing up in hospitals that weren’t explained by the flu, and the CDC would have been investigating and found it.

It could be out there, but I don’t see any evidence of that.

“Social distancing” probably has little to do with it. We have half a million Chinese people in this community many of whom visit their relatives back home frequently. It has run its course here and is now starting to taper off.

“But he added “I don’t want to be held to that” because the pandemic is “such a moving target.” ... But our good friends at Fox will do just that because it fits their alarmist narrative.

Why would you purposely mischaracterize by omitting the entire statement what the Surgeon General said? You are here with an agenda. Want to tell us who’s paying you for your treachery?

I have heard people who suspect they might have had it, right here on this thread are a couple...but no one who was actually diagnosed.

I'm one of them. (Thought I had it, not confirmed.) Testing is a relatively new procedure, and it was a relatively new disease for us, so there really wouldn't be any positive tests.

When they start using a test to see if you're already had it, I think it will open a lot of eyes.

You purposely ignore the real potential of HCQ plus zinc to stave off infection . What is your agenda titled in your briefing instructions?

Thanks for posting that.

I don't see a misrepresentation in the FOX article I posted and the interview. There is more information in the interview.

Additional takeaways

Thank you for saying that. I think we all can approach it that way.

Surely we can have both discussions:

1) What is the seriousness of this virus vis-a-vis the data.

2) Are the steps being taken justified and proper in a free society, well, one that claims to be free.

There is one more aspect that is now boiling over. How much longer can the President afford to keep his powder dry politically when the democrats are trying to play full on politics with this. Pelosi today was evil, absolutely pure evil. This woman is full on crazy.

You’re the one making the claims, you show me the research.

I’m not going to chase every conspiracy theory that doesn’t pass the smell test.

FEMA?
They are not my idea of a bureaucratic layer. They go out & get the job done.
