Dr. Deborah Birx said that it was “difficult to tell” whether a second coronavirus wave in the Fall could cause another national lockdown.
Birx’s Sunday morning interview on ABC’s “This Week” came after President Donald Trump insisted on Thursday that he will not “close” the country if, as Dr. Anthony Fauci expects, cases spike again later this year.
WATCH:
“I think we’re trying to learn right now very carefully about how you reopen safely,” Birx responded when asked by ABC’s Martha Raddatz if that was the “right approach.”
“You know we act like we’ve actually done this before and besides 1918-1919 we’ve not ever closed parts of America and even then the whole country wasn’t closed,” she continued. “We’re trying to understand during this period of coming out of a closure, how do we maintain openness and safety?”
Birx insisted they were “preparing” for a “potential Fall issue” by stockpiling ventilators and PPE and “ensuring that we’re really pushing on therapeutics and vaccine development so we can be ready if the virus does come back in a significant way.”

Well said. It's prudent to be proactive and prepared but the "lock down" policy with the attached draconian edicts are insane,and does more harm than good.
If Birx and Fauci think we’re going to stand for them calling the shots for another round of economic suicide, they’re badly mistaken.
I am sure the first shutdown was a failure.
The horse is out of the barn. A shutdown like we had will not happen again. Oh, the tin hat despots and tyrants will try, and Karens and Chads will be ubiquitous, but it won’t happen again.
It isn't hard to tell at all. The government is not shutting down no matter what the second outbreak looks like.
NEVER AGAIN!
Pass it on.
‘Deborah wanted to shut down the grocery stores and got Trump call Kemp to stop him from opening.’
it didn’t sound like Trump needed any urging to throw Kemp under the bus...
‘Trump NEVER will let a shutdown happen again under his watch.’
Trump can’t stop it; state’s right to governance prohibit it...but the people can, and must...
‘Trump made the wrong call last March.’
yes; yes he did...a major league bad call...
Meanwhile the Left rejoices at the deaths, unemployment and the people suffering in their attempt to blame Trump for the destruction.
it didn’t sound like Trump needed any urging to throw Kemp under the bus..”
Hard to disagree with you. When he did it I though maybe he and Kemp planned it so we could get a state to open and prove Fauci and Deborah wrong but then he ripped into Kemp the next day. More and more I think Trump is realizing Fauci and Deborah led us into an economic catastrophe with BS projections.

I liked her...at first. But after hearing her utter “social distancing” 10,000 times I can’t stand her.
