Fauci says U.S. needs to 'hunker down' for fall and winter

As the United States heads into flu season, Americans can't let up in the fight against the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, Dr. Anthony Fauci said Thursday.

Although the number of new daily cases of coronavirus in the U.S. has slowly been declining, the country is still closing in on 200,000 deaths from COVID-19 and more than 6 million confirmed infections.

“We need to hunker down and get through this fall and winter because it’s not going to be easy,” Fauci said.

Fauci also spoke about the COVID-19 vaccine trials and the possibility of post-Labor Day surges, noting that as one region in the U.S. gets it under control, another hot spot emerges — and that spikes inevitably appear whenever states lift social distancing restrictions.

“It’s really quite frankly depressing to see that because you know what's ahead,” he said.

Fauci’s sobering comments about the need for doctors and scientists to approach COVID-19 with “humility” came a day after President Donald Trump was heard in an audio clip acknowledging in February that he had minimized the seriousness of the pandemic.

“I still like playing it down because I don’t want to create a panic,” Trump said a month later in a call with the journalist Bob Woodward, according to the clip on The Washington Post’s website. Trump has been criticized for his response to the virus.

Messed up my own joke.

Sounds like Fauci will hanker for a hunk of cheese this winter...

"why the hell hasn’t Trump canned this moron ages ago?"

...and your enemies nearer? - who listens to Big Parma puppet any more.

Everyone knows how to protect themselves, and this is not the way to do it, this is the fauci way

F you Fauci you little worm.

Firing fauci this close to the election would be a bad idea. Better to keep him in the background and use real experts.

I note that at yesterday's briefing Trump brought Scott Atlas and not Tony. I suppose Tony did serve his purpose by debunking the Woodward story.

I am slopping over the distinction between propaganda and gaslighting.

I started calling it "flopaganda" some weeks ago amongst my friends and that phrase seems to be catching on in my circle of friends.

That word just popped into my head one day as we were discussing the media propaganda campaign and that amongst the people we know it as flopping. I blurted out "flopaganda!" and there it was.

That's not to say someone else hasn't already thought of it, I'm of the opinion that there's so many like minded people someone else must've come up with it first.

Fauci needs to go #%#$ himself. Even better is someone who wants to push such draconian measures indefinitely should be fed to the pigs.

Some history on it if you’re interested. Says it aired beginning in 1975 and ran to 1992. It must have been mid 80s from when I remember this guy.
