The coronavirus would be reduced to easily extinguished embers by the time next falls influenza season strikes, President Trump said at Wednesdays briefing of the White House task force, even as his top health experts continued to offer a decidedly more guarded outlook.
We will have coronavirus in the fall. I am convinced of that, said Dr. Anthony Fauci, a top epidemiologist at the National Institutes of Health, at the same briefing some minutes later. Faucis blunt style has sometimes annoyed Trump and often thrilled a public hungry for accurate information. He added that preparations made now would likely mitigate the impact of the virus come autumn.
Both men were speaking in the context of comments made the day before by Dr. Robert Redfield, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, to the Washington Post. He told the newspaper that not only was the coronavirus likely to return in the fall, but that its effect would be compounded by the flu.
Theres a possibility that the assault of the virus on our nation next winter will actually be even more difficult than the one we just went through, Redfield told the Washington Post. He added later that the nation was bound to face the flu epidemic and the coronavirus epidemic at the same time.
That would put enormous strain on hospitals and possibly lead to widespread shutdowns of the kind that have marked the first months of 2020.
A White House plainly irritated by Redfield took the press to task. On Wednesday afternoon, new White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany said in a Fox News interview that the mainstream media had taken Redfields comments out of context. She argued that he had merely been advising Americans to receive their annual flu vaccinations.

Release virus 2.0?
DjT is right again....herd immunity should be working well by then
What a joke. Most know nothing because it’s only been less than two months.
So what if it does? The 2019-2020 season for it will be over. Most contagious diseases have seasons, reoccurring each year. You adapt.
Thanks for the ‘online’ education. :-)
You should read more, reports from medical sources throughout the world
You can put yourself weeks ( or longer) ahead of what comes out via the WHO and CDC, about what they are discovering about this pathogen and what it is doing
Revenge of The Virus.
Wu Flu arrived in the US only slowly until late Feb ( 27 cases detected by end of Feb)- almost end of the influenza cycle
Most contagious diseases have seasons, reoccurring each year. You adapt.

According to Trump’s Coronavirus Task Force, you simply shut the economy down, remind everyone how great the economy was before the shutdown, then open it in “phases.” Oh yes, if you have a Republican Governor who skips one of your precious phases, simple castigate said Republican in front of the Fake News!
Another reason to end the pressers if he
he feels Fauci and company is not giving out tbe best advice.
Weve got a handle on here in the US ( since April 16 ). but its just getting started in other parts of the world - that is the only reason This stupid stinking virus might come back
It will come back continually because China will release it as needed, they attack us, we act like its natural, we are dying with heads in sand
DjT is right again....herd immunity should be working well by then
Lets hope all this stay at home nonsense doesnt prevent herd immunity from being achieved. The school children and their youngish parents were supposed to be spreading it around amongst their healthy bodies (harmlessly) and building immunity. They say for herd immunity, ideally, 75-80% of the population should be exposed.
Hopefully, a lot of that happened before the lock downs.
Hoping for that 2nd wave, ghouls with an agenda to take us into the november elections, demanding mail in voting, unfair elections due to the virus and people afraid to go out to vote, minorites of racial inequality are dying of corona virus is a republican scam to diminish their voting base, dont go back to work the 2nd wave is upon us trump wants you dead! FUNNY HOW WE ALREADY KNOW THIER PLAN
Well I suppose we’ll see who is right.
Just another ploy to say only a vaccine will stop this monster.
On the other hand, there seems to be a good piece of the population that has acquired herd immunity. And then along comes Fauci again saying....but it doesn't mean you are immune.
Remember, Fauci promised a vaccine for HIV in two years. That was in 1996. Still hasn't happened...but they did come up with some very, very expensive meds. And a reminder, HIV was political because people like Fauci refused to deem it as being driven by homosexuals.
FRAUDS!! They know NOTHING!
Except thats Greek.
