Dr Anthony Fauci has urged Congress to pass Joe Biden's Covid relief bill because US schools 'need more resources' to re-open safely after months of virus-enforced closures.
The nation's top infectious disease expert said re-opening schools 'can be done' but told ABC's George Stephanopoulos that school districts 'really do need more resources'.
'That's the reason why the national relief act that we're talking about getting passed - we need that,' Fauci said, as Democrats in Congress try to push through $130billion in funding to help schools upgrade buildings and buy protective gear.

This is insane! Just more slush for the Democrats. Kids are at near zero risk
Most schools are already good to go here in Upstate NY.
What a load of crap - it doesn’t take $130B for schools to address Covid.
What happened to the bundle President Trump gave them. It was more than enough to prepare schools to start under CDC guidelines.
Maybe used for other pet projects by the governors??
I knew Biden cheated and became president.
How did this jackass become president?
When did this is mass become representative or senator fauci. What a worm.
Oh, so now he’s an expert on per pupil spending too?? As they used to say on The Sopranos, “Do you believe this f***in’ guy?”
There's still a lot of money that the Feds have not spent from recent coronavirus bills, the first one and the recent one passed before Joe Biden became President.
FTA: help schools upgrade buildings and buy protective gear.
Just what does that mean?
Everyone wearing moonsuits?
yep!
How did grocery stores keep going without billions?
What about the schools that have been operating for months...like South Dakota?
They don’t need 130 billion to reopen
I thought Fauci wasn’t political and said during the Trump administration that he had no call on economics. Any money he should be talking about should be DIRECTLY related to the Vaccine.
Breaking news: Teachers union gives 6.5 billion to democrats for 2020.
Most private schools seem to have managed just fine. Most don’t need to reopen either because their teachers were actually working.
Maybe the Byrds can get back together and remake an old hit - “to everything, spend, spend, spend”
every public school fleeces the local population for lots and lots of money
that doesnt go anywhere but the pockets of union folks and the wallets of teachers and administrators
and they just keep coming to the trough
and i am so iskc of teachers saying gow poor they are
if this is really the case they dont get money they need to be on our side and demand the collected money go towards the schools and not unions and ‘overhead’
but then agan why prop up such a corrupt and worthless education system full of socialists and those that deliveratwly hide things from parents
i hope it all fails
