Dr. Anthony Fauci and Dr. Deborah Birx, two key members of the White House coronavirus task force, have warned nine major cities across the country over their high COVID-19 testing positivity rates.

Birx, coordinator of the White House task force, first raised concerns about the high positivity rates in Atlanta; Baltimore; Boston; Chicago; Detroit; Kansas City, Missouri; Portland, Oregon; Omaha, Nebraska; and Washington, D.C.; in a Wednesday call with state and local officials. Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), was asked about the remarks in an interview with CNN on Thursday morning, and he explained that the test positivity rate is "a pretty good predictor" or "indicator" that surges in new infections are coming.

They were proven months ago to be the boy who cried wolf. Sorry folks, the only ones listening are CNN, MSNBC, and a bunch of BLM and ANTIFA nincompoops all over the country.

Baltimore already has imposed restrictions above and beyond what Lockdown Larry has in place at this time.

Fauci and scarf lady...You quarantined WELL PEOPLE...and that’s why this second wave is happening. They should have bee in the first wave...and it doesn’t change the death rate...in fact, it would be even lower.

I guess that explains why RBG had her last procedure in a NY Hospital and not Baltimore.

“COVID-19 testing positivity rates”

Does the positivity rate really forecast the future?

SC had high positivity rates a couple weeks ago, but this week we are trending down.

What is a high positivity rate, they do not define what is high in the article?

Has Fauci ever explained whether a positive result is the same as actually being sick?

Notably absent is any discussion of the riots in Portland being a factor in them making this list.

Since the pandemic started he has, by my count, been asked exactly FIVE pointed and challenging questions. And those were from Jim Jordan and Rand Paul. The media has given him a total pass. If we had a media who was willing to ask him the obvious questions he would have been toast sometime in April.
