That’s the time when you want the government working full blast to address this."

Fauci said that a shutdown would have a “profound effect,” adding it “should be avoided, if at all possible.

“In the middle of a pandemic? When is the end?”

If this is the middle, it will last 1.5 - 2 more years. So, figure September 2023.

We’re going to be paying for these parasites whether or not they’re furloughed, and later when they get back pay. I say shut this mufker down, they can do less damage that way.

Oh, great. Now Fauci is giving his opinion in political matters. What’s next for the great man? Perhaps he could tell us what TV shows we must watch.

Because he’s clearly done such a great job getting this pandemic under control so far. Literally everything he has said we should do And made democrat run areas implement have failed every single time.

It is the perfect time for a shutdown, as the government has deliberately made this problem exponentially worse.
