Actually, he's not ignoring him. Fauci was interviewed by the Great One and Fauci basically said that if you don't have an immune deficiency, and you aren't old, the deadliness of the virus is next to nil. So if the folks with immune issues and the elderly self hibernate, we can let the rest of the healthy/younger folks go back to work so the economy doesn't get irreversibly crippled for the next 10-20 years.
I know that’s what Fauci’s been saying for quite some time, but the data doesn’t seem to bear that out.
For example - The Netherlands ICUs are more than half filled with people under 50, many without pre-existing conditions.
Italy’s ICUs are 64% filled with people under 70.
The US hospitalization data also skews heavily to people generally in their 40s. Surprisingly, the over 60 and especially over 70 hospitalizations are LESS than the 40 YO in the last data I saw.
Then, there’s tons of anecdotal evidence..like the recentlyt dead 34 year old from California. They categorized him as having “pre-existing conditions” because he had Asthma as a child, but did not have it since age eight. That’s the game that’s apparently being played, FWIW..
