Fauci: Improved testing and tracing can help reopen country
The Hill ^ | 04 01 2020 | Peter Sullivan

Posted on 04/01/2020 4:41:47 PM PDT by yesthatjallen

Dr. Anthony Fauci said Wednesday that improved coronavirus testing and tracing of infected people's contacts will help the country eventually be able to ease up on measures like stay at home orders.

Fauci, a top official at the National Institutes of Health, said during a White House briefing that he would like to see enough capacity to test a wide range of people and the ability to determine who those that test positive have been in contact with.

That would help create a targeted approach and allow the country to ease up on blunter efforts currently in place, like stay at home orders.

"The one thing we hopefully would have in place, and I believe we will have in place, is a much more robust system to be able to identify someone who's infected, isolate them, and then do contact tracing," Fauci said.

"If you have a really good program of containment, that prevents you from ever having to get into mitigation, we're in mitigation right now," he added.

They are doing a hundred thousand tests a day now. It is a hell of a lot better than the system Obama and Biden left for them.

Great to hear, Dr. Fauci. Has nothing to do with us plebians out here though. Less lip flapping and more tracing.

Move over service economy. In the future our entire economy will be based on medical testing.

and the ability to determine who those that test positive have been in contact with..

“I was in contact with my mom and then she went to shoprite where there were 500 people and then she went to play cards at the senior center where there were 200 people.

And those 700 people went home and...

it’s SO HARD to do that.

Just ramp up testing, keep pumping out the drugs that seem to be effective and ask the older and sick to stay home longer than mid april and those who come into contact with them to be extra cautious

Which of course was no system at all to speak of. W has to share some blame too. One would of thought after 9/11 there would have been plans created to handle biological attacks and disease pandemics. Trump has had to do all of this on the fly and under extreme pressure to get it done fast. Years from now we’ll truly appreciate that this man was in office when this sh*t happened!

This Fauci guy goes on CNN and says one thing, then comes on at the briefings and says another.

Next day, he’s back again on MSNBC saying something else.

He should be sent to his room.

Hopefully when this is over our 'leaders' will come to the conclusion we need to be self-sufficient in every industry we can be.

We can still trade but we should have basic essential production facilities here, ready to ramp-up production if we have another emergency.

‘’This Fauci guy goes on CNN and says one thing, then comes on at the briefings and says another.’’

He may be a great government bureaucrat doctor, but, him running his mouth to the press that wants to make Trump look really bad is making the whole situation much worse. I think he’s cost a few lives at least!

"... coronavirus testing and tracing of infected people's contacts...."

They shoulda been prepared to do this from Day One. Isn't that why they have the big budgets and staff?

Fauci reminds of the guy who when talking about himself said, "Well, I'm done talking about myself. Why don't you talk about me?"
