‘Lockdown for a few weeks’: US’ Anthony Fauci on India’s Covid-19 crisis
The Indepedant ^ | May 2, 2021 | Hindustan Times

Posted on 05/02/2021 2:18:23 PM PDT by conservative98

India — Anthony Fauci, the US’ top epidemiologist and one of the leading global voices on the coronavirus pandemic, suggested India must impose a complete lockdown for a few weeks as an immediate step to contain the surging infections which have brought the country’s healthcare system to its knees. “Well, one of the things you really need to do, to the extent that you can, is shut down temporarily the country, I think it is important. India is in a very difficult and desperate situation. So when you have a situation like that you’ve got to look at the absolute immediate,” Fauci told the Indian Express.

Fauci, the chief medical adviser to the Biden administration and one of the most trusted people to speak on the Covid-19 pandemic, said it is not necessary to shut down a country for six months, instead, it can be done for few weeks and it will still end the cycle of transmission. “Literally, lockdown so that you wind up having less spread. No one likes to lock down the country. Well, that’s a problem when you do it for six months. It can have a significant impact on the Covid-19 dynamics,” he added.

Fauci also cited China as an example and said that the country closed all its establishment last year when the Covid-19 cases were exploding.

I heard a doctor from India on tv yesterday. She said Indian people are dying from lack of medical care, not from covid.

"No one likes to lock down the country."

...says the guy whose first recommendation somehow keeps being "lock down the country".

It can be done in a few weeks....

Meanwhile back at the ranch.

Remember just 15 days to control the spread? That was over a year ago and still going.

Shut everything down. Just to flatten the curve. Won’t take more than a few days.

It's going to be a little bit longer. How long? Long enough to make sure it was long enough.

Just had to make more news, did he?

He’s riding free on the fear-mongering. The sheeple are genuflecting. Makes me sick.
