WASHINGTON - Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s top infectious disease expert, is warning Congress that if the country reopens too soon during the coronavirus pandemic, it will result in “needless suffering and death.”
Fauci is among the health experts testifying to a Senate panel. His testimony comes as President Donald Trump is praising states that are reopening after the prolonged lock-down aimed at controlling the virus’ spread.
Fauci, in a statement to The New York Times, warned that officials should adhere to federal guidelines for a phased reopening, including a “downward trajectory” of positive tests or documented cases of coronavirus over two weeks, robust contact tracing and “sentinel surveillance” testing of asymptomatic people in vulnerable populations, such as nursing homes.
“If we skip over the checkpoints in the guidelines...then we risk the danger of multiple outbreaks throughout the country,” Fauci wrote. “This will not only result in needless suffering and death, but would actually set us back on our quest to return to normal.”
The health committee hearing offers a very different setting from the White House coronavirus task force briefings the administration witnesses have all participated in. Senators on the panel are knowledgeable and some have working relationships that go back years with the agencies that the panelists are representing. Most significantly, President Donald Trump will not be controlling the agenda.

Your opinion not mine.
Fauci has been around for many decades. He is not better now than then. He has never been a “real” scientist but he has been a go with flow person forever. I wondered when I was a “scientist” what one had to do to become a CDC administrator. What I was told is too embarrassing to repeat. Gads and he is still around. Sheesh.
Thank you! He is a real creep on all levels. I have often wondered abouthis sex life, literally.

“Trump needs to stop letting this jackass make policy.”
As Tucker said tonight about the Fauci situation, “Trump needs to take control.”
“a company in San Diego developed a vaccine within 3 days of receiving the covid genome. Apparently, vaccine science is not rocket science. It might be that manufacturing doses might be the real problem.”
No; the ONLY problem is that Fauci won’t give the green light until it’s the company he is in bed with (along with Gates) comes out with a vaccine.
Wow. Quite a lineup of Republicans — in that most of them suck. We’re DOOOMED!
“Fauci has been around for many decades. ... He has never been a “real” scientist “
He has never been a “real” (practicing) physician, either. To me, it seems that he happened to fall into a position where he can hobnob with the power elites, and that’s really the most important thing to him.
Please cite evidence chapter and verse for this malicious slander
