White House coronavirus advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci said the United States is seeing a surge in new Covid-19 infections because the country never shut down entirely.
Early in the outbreak, U.S. coronavirus cases peaked at around 30,000 new cases a day before falling and plateauing at roughly 20,000 new cases per day, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University. As some states began to reopen in late April through June, new cases began to surge, Fauci told Stanford Medicine Dean Dr. Lloyd Minor during an interview.
"We did not shut down entirely," Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said. "We need to draw back a few yards and say, 'OK, we can't stay shut down forever.' ...You've got to shut down but then you've got to gradually open."
The U.S. has reported more than 3.3 million Covid-19 cases and at least 135,205 deaths as of Monday, Johns Hopkins data shows. As of Sunday, cases are growing by 5% or more in 37 states and also Washington, D.C., according to CNBC's analysis of the data. The seven-day average of U.S. cases is more than 59,100.

Yes; people ARE that stupid.
And if people started starving because of food shortages, well...that’s just unavoidable collateral damage.
LOL
No!! My husband was just accosted at Publix for not wearing a mask. Some mental retard tried to force him to wear it then got the manager. The manager blew him off and that really enraged the jerk...LOL
I’m confused. What part of “15 Days to Slow the Spread” was calling for a total shutdown?
Shut down 330M people over 3.8M square miles?? Have at it, Fauci.
Just curious..for those of you who still think this is all just some plot to deny Trump re-election..
How do you explain 200+ different countries fighting the same damned virus?
Are ALL 200+ countries somehow “in on” (the plot) also?

maybe the riots and protesting explains a surge you little turd
PDJT has not only pointed out that the rise in COVID-19 cases is a result of testing more and more people every day, but adds that the key number, the number of daily deaths due to COVID-19, is dropping on the average every day (my wording).
In fact, consider the following thread from a week ago, the CDC noting the dropping death rate.
CDC: After 10-Week Decline In COVID-19 Deaths, It May Soon No Longer Be An Epidemic (July 6, 2020)
Corrections, insights welcome.
Send "Orange Man Bad" federal and state government desperate Democrats and RINOs home in November!
Supporting PDJT with a new patriot Congress and state government leaders that will promise to fully support his already excellent work for MAGA and stopping SARS-CoV-2 will effectively give fast-working Trump a "third term" in office imo.
are not ALL world-wide cases because Xi and FauXi
funded this AtrociXi??
when all else fails... dont take the advice of these agenda driven dems...
when all else fails... PRAY .. millions praying for our nation.. all at the same time.. would bring our help...
Just said the same. The surge happens after we have riots and protests and not a peep from this little turd, and the media. No they come out with a bogus report stating the riots never added any cases, yet going to church or not wearing a mask does. The founding fathers would be turning in their grave if they saw what cowards this country has produced.
Fauxchi can lie as well as Bill Clinton
15 days to flatten the curve. Uh huh. So that didn’t work because we kept the grocery stores open? 4 more weeks to flatten the curve. They just can’t admit that it didn’t work.
Thanks Karen!
Oh, BS.
It doesn’t surge in some spots because other spots a thousand miles away didn’t lock down.
Look at how many have been to protests first.
Florida’s testing rate is 10x that of two months ago.
Maybe if you’d stopped breathing?
The Fascist Fauci is trying to sabotage our recovery. The Marxist Media portray him as a prophet, but he and they are really just charlatans. If the Fascist Fauci thinks we are making a mistake, we are likely fine.
No Fauci you are lying.
You lowered the standards of what is a positive Covid 19 in order to make money off the vaccine you and Bill Gates are working on.
