WASHINGTON, D.C. — Although it may feel like North Carolina hit a crucial benchmark in returning to normalcy from COVID-19 this week, Dr. Anthony Fauci is voicing concern for states that have pulled back on regulating limits on social life.
In an interview with "Meet the Press" host Chuck Todd, Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, advised caution for what he feels is prematurely lifting restrictions among some states.
North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia all eased major restrictions on Friday, as did Massachusetts, Arkansas and Wyoming. Several other states eased some level of restrictions. The loosening of rules came days after the nation passed the 500,000 death mark from COVID-19.
"We had a graphic showing about a dozen states, some, like North Carolina, allowing more fans in the stands. We had more indoor bars being open and things like this," Todd began his line of questioning. "You and [Centers for Disease Control and Prevention director] Dr. [Rochelle] Walensky were like 'not yet.' Why not yet? Why is this week not the week yet to ease restrictions?"
"It's really too premature right now to be pulling back too much," said Fauci, who's come under the public eye since the start of the pandemic. "I'm concerned that we're still at that level of 70,000 [infections per day], and when people start then pulling back on mitigation methods and mitigation activities, you have the risk, and it is a real risk, of seeing it go back up, and it's not something I'm imagining. Go back and look at the surges that we've had over the past year. It was always at a time when you wanted to pull back."

I can’t figure out how to post a specific graph from the WRAL website.....any helpers?
Would like to post the NC Deaths from Coronavirus graph and a couple of others.
Tried to do it as I thought it would work but didn’t work.
Agree!
Yep - he is power crazed - which fits right in with the rest of the Biden people....grrrr.
Yes he does.
I think almost fully 50% of bars and restaurants here in NY state have closed.
Obscene numbers of small businesses are being destroyed in this country, and there are far too many people that readily welcomed it. It’s like Kristallnacht, but the purpose of the riots last year wasn’t specifically meant to destroy businesses.
He gave it a political agenda that he controlled.
One word from his lips and the world went into hysterics.
Copy the link, then type here without spaces
< img src = (paste image link here) >
I always preview the post before submitting. If you need to resize, add (include the space AFTER the end of the link but before the carrot [NYC public education])
width = “ 400 “ >
That should be all you need.
Yeah, because who cares about the black plague anymore. We have a less than 1% chance of dying to worry about!
Outrageous!
I can’t find the link to post in that HTML format - when I right click on the graph, it doesn’t come up with anything that I can use as a link.....I know it’s user error.
Thanks.
“....however younger folks need to take some responsibility with social distancing.”
Nonsense. Younger folks are just not getting infected to any degree. Older folks need to maintain a degree of caution and it is they who should social distance.
Let the herd immunity continue and open up completely. Old folks like myself need to take special precautions and if they choose get the vaccine.
This is the biggest scam in world history.
Someone also said he is the highest paid government worker in the country!
It is long past time for him to be retired and as others have said extradited somewhere for a fit sentence - of hanging.
The communists want us to accept their new normal. They must be opposed at all times.

I tell people all the time, this is NEVER going away.
When have the Rats ever let go of a “crisis”?
When asked on Levin’s show last night if the gerbil has ever spoken to De Santis of Florida about how they have gotten by with low restrictions verses how states with huge restrictions have worse outcomes, DeSantis said: NO.
DeSantis is soooooo good!
So are the other Republican governors.
Unfortunately NC has had to endure Dem Roy Cooper.....and I was very surprised that this tinpot dictator (governor) eased the restrictions even a little bit.....but he didn’t go far enough.
Shut up. Shut up. Go away. Go away. Shut up. Shut up. Go away. Go away.
Take your huge salary and your, “Do what I say, not what I do,” and get out of regular people’s lives for ever and ever.
Retire or die right now I don’t care which comes first for him.
I find that rather difficult to believe that he would be getting paid more than his boss.
I don't think he has a boss, well, except for maybe Gates and Soros, cuz their pay grade is much higher than a measly $450,000 or whatever it is.
Spreads by word of mouth and when you get it, it shuts down all your common sense receptors - unless you are immune to it due to 3 decades of EIB injections.
“Younger folks are just not getting infected to any degree.”
Agreed. These are not my thoughts but that of the Dare Co Health Dept graph indicating age ranges infected.
