White House coronavirus expert Dr. Anthony Fauci said on Friday morning that the current state of crisis in the US would last for two months and that 'it's all on the table' in terms of how much more severe things may become.

In a series of interviews with Good Morning America and CBS This Morning, Fauci gave his bleak assessment of what is still to come.

'It's certainly going to get worse before it gets better...there's no doubt we have not peaked yet,' he said.

Asked directly if America was heading towards a complete shutdown like China and Italy, he would not rule it out.

'I'm not sure we're going to get to that.

'I think that would be really rather dramatic, but I can tell you that all things are on the table.

“Andromedra Strain. Drink your squeeze“

Nothin’ like a cold can of Sterno to get the day going with a kick! Works for me!*

Many Eastern European people believe that vodka will ward off illness including radiation poisoning. Or, you get sick, but then don’t worry about it.

*ABSOLUTELY DO NOT DO THIS, POISON

You characterization of me is incorrect.

Now please go tell the NBA you know more than them and explain why.

Also, I would like Soccer to start up again even though several have test positive

So go counsel them as well.

While you are at, NCAA needs your sage advice

YOu could do a lot more for the economy by contacting them and showing them the error of their ways than posting here claiming a guy didnt’ say the words in a headline

“Accidental hero Rudy Gobert”

Funny, but absolutely valid point.

The number of lives he may end up having saved is

incalculable.

Quarantining asymptomatic people doesn’t give the public a chance to build up immunity to the virus.

Look, I've already told you I don't care about the NBA, or NCAA for that matter.

I understand you're concerned. You're either in the at risk age group, have an underlying condition that increases your risk, or both. Your projection of your personal fears to the FR community does not do yourself or others any good. I have sympathy for your fears and hope that you don't get it. I'll say a prayer for you.

I plan on helping the economy actually, but not by a futile move such as calling major sports leagues. You could help as well by doing something productive instead of cracking away on your keyboard and spreading gloom.

Prayers up for you RummyChick.

“HOW? I just tested positive in France, I am a US citizen. How do I come home??”

That is your exact statement from yesterday. If you said it...it has to be true. Do not try to sidestep your admission by calling it an “analogy”.

I’ll say a prayer for your fast recovery...and your eventual return to the USA.

It does stop it from spreading, though and overwhelming the system.

There is a big percentage of at risk people

Matthew Brodericks sister is a pastor in her 60s. Had to go to the ICU with it.

It was a HYPOTHETICAL

And as far as I know, no one could answer it...other than for me to sneak to England and board a plane there.

“This isn’t the flu”

So then you recommend marshall law and shutting down the world?

Maybe a U.N. takeover?

We will see if he is right.

Maybe it will burn itself out in a short time

Not sure how he would now...but rock on.

I don't mean to be a stickler, but under what Constitutional authority can the Federal Government do this?

Also, if there IS a vehicle to do this, why didn't they do it during Spanish Flu when 28% of the country was infected?

When he needs to turn around, is he 33 or 45 rpm?
