He knew it was, he denied it was wordspeak as he said it.

Fauci is a smart guy, but he's not the best spokesman if he's going to make statements like that.

That's the sort of stuff that causes FUD.

Thanks for that excellent Summary excerpt from the COVID-19 reports by the Imperial College of London. They explain clearly exactly what I've been fearing.

We are doing these two to four week "shutdowns" all over the country now, but the disease will rebound quickly once the shutdowns end. Then then will have to be re-instituted, but for longer periods of time, maybe 4 to 8 weeks. The shutdowns are doomed to fail because eventually people need income (if there are any jobs left) and kids have to go to school.

As the authors say, it is really a race to get to an effective, affordable, and abundant vaccine before the healthcare system gets overwhelmed. It looks like the earliest that mass vaccination could start would be Fall 2021.

When is "normal" going to return? This summer? Summer 2021? Later?

Will the savings of all imminent retirees be decimated by the stock market crash and slow rebound? That bodes poorly for retirements.

Will the communists capitalize on this and we face a communist government starting in 2021? If so, then we will never return to "normal" and COVID will be the least of our worries.

For once the questions from the idiot press are (mostly) relevant and respectful.

kids have to go to school

I would no longer take that for granted.

We should study it. I bet after four weeks, they'll be smarter.

Good points to consider, thanks for posting.
