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.

There are two major differences with the Wuhan corona virus:

1. Medical: It's a different type of contagious flu virus than all the previous contagious flu viruses

2. Social: The unparalled fear and resulting hysteria is due to one thing: social media which was no where near as omnipresent as it is today during all the previous contagious flu outbreaks in the history of the world.

Yes, I don’t get why It’s Just The Flu bros are even bothering with Free Republic. There are a lot of experts out there that greatly need their advice..because CLEARLY those companies and leaders don’t think It’s Just The Flu

“Why aren’t you speed dialing Governors and Companies like Disney and Lloyds of London and the NBA and all the other Sports franchises...and Cruise Lines...etc... to offer your expertise since you believe you know more than them?”

LOL! I know what the good doctor said AND he said in response to a question that they had never discussed that option.

Misleading headline - misleading at several levels. Who doesn’t think this is a convenient trail run for total totalitarianism the second the globalist demonrats get full control again?

I wasn’t commenting on the flu. I was commenting on the distortion of the doctor’s conversation.

Shhhh, don’t ruin a good panic. The doom Freepers know most won’t read beyond the false headline.

TRIAL run...not trail run. But kind of a trail run I guess...

Because the headline goes beyond the “on the table” with the less relevant “two months” info, while skipping over his “I’m not sure we’re going to do that—that would be be rather dramatic.”

Misleading sensationalizing.

Now you know why I was repeatedly urging people a couple of weeks ago to stock up for two months.

It’s not a fake headline . The guy said it

Now, I think you should speed dial the guy who said it and tell him you know better than him

Also see if he will tell you what else is on the Table for this since he didn’t elaborate

Hey It’s Just The Flu Bro....get your speed dial going. So many companies need your expertise. Please start with the NBA.

I would like them to start playing again. Call them and tell them you know that they didnt need to shut it down

Same here. Not worried. If that's what it takes to starve this virus out of existence then so be it I guess.

I still think all this is a complete over-reaction however I'm completely outnumbered by what appears to be overwhelming odds so I'll have no choice but to go along with it.

“39 US deaths”

The majority of which came from the old folks home in Washington state. (I think the home is under investigation now.)
