White House coronavirus advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci said he is not pleased with the current state of the Covid-19 pandemic in the United States.

U.S. public health officials are beginning to see a “disturbing” uptick in the rate of coronavirus tests that come back positive in some regions of the nation, Fauci said during a National Geographic panel moderated by ABC News Correspondent Deborah Roberts, which aired on Thursday. “Bottom line is, I’m not pleased with how things are going.”

“We certainly are not where I hope we would be, we are in the middle of very serious historic pandemic,” he added.

I’m an economist and I am not pleased with how things are going either. But the narrative is $3 trillion in government spending, no problem, 10% unemployment, no problem, millions of small businesses (peoples life’s work) bankrupt, no problem. #nonsense https://t.co/dnWx4fBQ8d— Brian Wesbury (@wesbury) August 13, 2020

The false positive rate is crazy high and they still use it as a measuring stick.— Cory Procter (@CoryProcter) August 13, 2020

Also not pleased with cnbc reporting either. "The U.S. has the worst outbreak in the world with more than 5 million infections and at least 166,000 deaths as of Thursday, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University." Common CNBC that is super misleading.— Rene Laughlin (@ReneLaughlin) August 13, 2020

Mortality rates drastically improved, economic recovery underway, no red lights on vaccine, you pull the politics and ignore the noise and things about as well as expected and market likely better then it should be...— Roger (@RogerMulhern) August 13, 2020

It frustrates me so badly how he can penalize and point fingers, yet assumes no accountability because he spouts wishy washy rhetoric with no hard lines. He has literally had no affect on the virus, but has smothered the people.— Emily (@Emily42658927) August 14, 2020

Just remember this about Fauci. He is a huge supporter of hillary. As we get closer to election I suspect we will hear more negativity from him. Ultimately he would like to see the socialists take over the USA.— ta (@Timgolf72) August 14, 2020

He’s the reason we’re here! Trump did every damn thing he wanted! A--hole— Baxter (@MiniBuddha1) August 14, 2020

Cases have increased twenty-fold here in the last month. They are skyrocketing and it looks like another complete lockdown will have to be declared.

I’m not pleased with how Fauci runs his mouth non-stop.

Fauci : You know, I'm not very pleased on how this is going.

Inspector Axel Foley from the Business & Recovery Task Force: You know, you have a very big mouth, sir! Are you hiding something from me? Is that what you're doing? I bet you that is your Porsche that's parked outside, isn't it? Isn't that your Porsche? Is it? How would you like me to have the IRS come down here and crawl up your @ss with a microscope? 'Cause they'll do it! I've seen them do it! It's not a pretty sight! I want you to know something, pal! And I want all of y'all to know something! I can have twenty five agents down here in fifteen minutes to march in here, snatch your funding from underneath you and you guys'll be out of business, permanently, if I don't get some cooperation! Is that understood?

Dr. Birx : Don't get upset, Inspector! We'll give you everything you need! Right, guys?

Redfield: Everything you need!

Fauci : That's not my Porsche, no sir! I don't know whose it is.

I personally think my response in post 9 was a little more elaborating on the subject :)

13 Aug: Head Topics: from UK Telegraph: We are massively overreacting to new Covid ‘outbreaks’
New research confirms that the Government’s reliance on case numbers is driving an unnecessarily draconian response
by Ross Clark
The Imperial College study published this morning claiming that 3.4 million people ( six per cent of the UK population) have antibodies indicating that they have been exposed to Covid-19 provides no great revelation. The Office of National Statistics (ONS) has already published similar figures suggesting that 6.5 per cent of the population has been infected. Nevertheless, it is yet more confirmation of how irrelevant are the official statistics for Covid 19 cases – and what a nonsense it is to rely on them for policymaking.

According to the Government’s Covid “dashboard”, updated at 4pm on Wednesday, 313,798 people in Britain have had the disease. This is less than one tenth of the number suggested by the Imperial study. In other words, for all Matt Hancock’s efforts to ramp up testing, the vast majority of cases have not been detected...

The vast disparity between actual and recorded infections matters hugely because the Government keeps acting as if the recorded cases do reflect reality. A small percentage increase in recorded cases in Leicester and in Greater Manchester led quickly to a return to partial lockdown in those areas. Daily, the Foreign Office scans infection rates in other countries to decide whether or not to quarantine people returning from those places. People and businesses are being put to huge inconvenience on the back of a small uptick in a statistic which is pretty well meaningless.

What the official recorded statistics on Covid cases are really measuring is the extent and effectiveness of a country’s testing programme. The more tests you conduct, the more of those silent Covid infections – the 90 per cent which would previously have gone unrecorded – you will pick up...

Leicester’s “second wave” came after mobile testing vans were sent to the city. When you see graphs of new infections on Britain you need to read them in conjunction with the ever-increasing numbers of tests being conducted – 15,000 a day in mid-April rising to 164,061 on Tuesday.
There is a moral here. If you are a country whose economy relies on UK tourists, don’t test more people than you need to; let those very mild and asymptomatic cases go unrecorded. If you are resident in Britain and value your freedom to meet relatives, go down the pub and so on, think twice about getting yourself tested – your reward may well be to have your whole town locked down.

Send Hawaii my regards. Now you have 22% unemployment, the second highest in the country, and nothing to show for it but surging ceases and criminals out of jail and roaming the street.

The lockdowns have nothing to do with the ‘Rona, and everything to do with November 3.

Act accordingly.

[basalt]

[Harmless Teddy Bear]
