You’re wrong. He’s not saying anything different then Trump or Pence is saying. The media is twisting words trying to cause division.

That’s true. And Fauci is OK. His statements have consistently reflected what the data is telling us.
But I don’t think your comment would have been true a week ago. I remember telling my wife several times that Trump was focused too much on avoiding panic and was not communicating the gravity of the situation.
That all changed on the day Trump cut off travel from Europe and Fauci, on that same day, told us that the infected population in the U.S. could be in the millions. I don’t think Fauci would have made a comment like that if he felt the President wouldn’t back him up.
Looking back I think it was on purpose to try and keep the panic tamped down as long as possible. People were (and many still are) in denial and there's a process of bringing them slowly to reality. It's to the point now where Trump has to realistic to the American people.
And, when travel from the Continent was cut off, but not Great Britain or Ireland, it was because Great Britain and Ireland
are “Much whiter” than the Continent. Why no Russia numbers?

Anyone believe these numbers?
