Fauci: 'We're not ready' for sports to return
The Hill ^ | 4/29/2020 | Aris Folley

Posted on 04/29/2020 8:30:54 AM PDT by McGruff

Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said this week that the country is “not ready” for sports to make a return amid the coronavirus pandemic and indicated that leagues should be ready to “go without this sport for this season.”

In an interview with The New York Times published on Monday, Fauci, who is one of top experts leading the White House’s coronavirus task force, said “safety, for the players and for the fans, trumps everything” when it comes to the question of when sporting events will be able to resume in the country.

“If you can’t guarantee safety, then, unfortunately, you’re going to have to bite the bullet and say, ‘We may have to go without this sport for this season,’ ” he continued.

“If you can’t guarantee safety,”

I can guarantee, this is is a gold plated ass hole. When can anyone GUARANTEE safety. The guy sitting next to you could have dengue fever or be carrying palonium. How can anyone guarantee they don’t, or an asteroid could land on you, how they going to guarantee against that or some nut with a knife could decide to lop off your head. Or anyone of any number of things. We can take reasonable precautions up to including if we are not comfortable, stay home. But we don’t need some a hole saying unless we can, blah blah blah. Can never reach a 100% certainty about anything EXCEPT dying some day.

It’s always easy for someone with a bloated, guaranteed government paycheck to state the economy should remain locked down.

Fauci: 'We're not ready' for sports to return

I remember being a teenager, waiting for the day I could finally move out and live on my own without someone else telling me how to live and what to do. I remember it a lot these days, for some reason.

-- And we should never shake hands again. --

It's a wonder that social custom hasn't been singled out for temporary criminalization. It is super easy to spot, and violations could help fill the beleaguered government coffers.

To be honest, I don’t really care if the kneelers and Hollywood are the last to recover.

In 1968 the Hong Kong flu killed 100,000 people in the US. No lockdowns, no shutdowns. Body bags did pile up in some urban areas. However, the lives of most Americans went on as normal.

Faucci is the poster child for mandatory retirement from government service at age 70.

Fauci is a fascist pig. Let him go cower in his bunker like a scared old man.

I play ball. Our fields are closed and they just canceled my summer league and told me we can’t even do pickup games.

To not hug my children and grandchildren?? If we all know that we don’t have it, then where’s the problem? How do we know?? Because we’ve been isolated for a month.

Oh puhlease, you are thinking like a normal human being. Step out of that and look at it from the government’s point of view.

That’s the vibe I’m getting. No prom dances, sports, or play acting for you mean boys and girls!
