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

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.

Well, on the bright side, when I hear that sports ARE allowed back, I will know that my personal safety is GUARANTEED by the government. So, I've got that going for me. Which is nice.

I can’t speak for anybody else, but I do believe that after 30 plus years, it’s time for Dr. Fauci to retire.

“If you can’t guarantee safety”

An impossible standard and the little weasel knows it.

Trump is going to start losing a lot of people if he doesn’t muzzle this clown, and fast.

We’re not “ready” for any more of Dr. Fauxi.
He should be in jail for giving those rotten, communist SOBs $3.7 millon of OUR money! He’s a RAT accomplice from the very get-go. He and the PIAPS should be cellmates.
This azzclown has ZERO credibility at this point...None, Nada, Zilch. Go away, Fauxi.

HERE IS A SOLUTION:

how about a buzkashi game using the heads
of the fake doctors and scientists who created
SARS_CoV-2, made a vaccine for it, and now
demand all stay in their homes until vaccinated.

I agree! Why doesn’t Trump get rid of this guy and move on to recovery! Very disappointed in Trump’s overreaction to their phony models and dragging his feet on recovery. His job isn’t to prevent deaths from the virus, but to ensure the virus would not overwhelm our health care system. Now, he is being held hostage by testing requirements and infection rates.

Not that I’d care. I don’t get excited over a bunch of America-hating kneeling African thugs chucking a ball around anyhow. Guess they’ll have to get jobs in the meat processing plants now instead of millions of dollars a year chucking a ball around.
