Walensky on Getting Out of COVID Crisis Mode: ‘We’re Not Where We Want to Be’ and ‘Can’t Be Cavalier’ about Current Death Count

On Tuesday’s “CBS Mornings,” CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky responded to questions on when we’ll move out of a crisis mode on the coronavirus and whether we’ll just have to live with the virus by saying that we’re “not where we want to be” at the moment, “we can bring down the amount of disease in this country and get much faster to that place.” And “we can’t be cavalier about the fact that we’re losing so many lives from this right now.”

Co-host Tony Dokoupil asked, “From a public health, scientific perspective, where — when do we shift into recovery mode and out of crisis mode?”

Walensky responded, “We all want to get there. We’re not where we want to be right now. But what I’ll say is we have 1,100 deaths every day, still. And we can’t be cavalier about the fact that we’re losing so many lives from this right now.”

Co-host Gayle King then asked, “Shouldn’t the messaging be, though, Rochelle, as we sit here, as we’re going into year two, people think we’re waiting for you to sound the trumpet saying it’s all clear, we’re not really going to get an all clear, are we? We just have to face the fact that we’re going to have to live with this, true?”

Walensky answered, “I think that that’s probably true. But I would say is, we have a lot of control and power to do that as we come together, as we get vaccinated, as we do those prevention things that work to protect one another and ourselves and our family, we can bring down the amount of disease in this country and get much faster to that place.”

Since no one watches 'see BS' here ya go. Answer us this mich...... Did folks die "of", "from" or "with" covid? How many of the deceased were fully(?) vaxxed? Were the deaths due to complications from the vax? How many were actually due to underlying conditions exacerbated by the bug? Crickets. After all, what are we to question the CONvid Disinfomation Center along with the National Institute for Harassment?

time will prove conservatives right, that this will eventually be like the yearly flu season which was killing 60,000-80,000 every year prior to covid.

Some will “choose” to get their flu/covid shot each year and others wont, but we will learn to live with it and move on.

FWIW the Pennsylvania Department of Health is no longer issuing the “daily doom” press release of alleged “case” counts, hospitalizations, etc.

Seems like “they” have decided that the fear gin mill needs to slow down.

As long as Democrats hold any type of power, we’ll never be out of crises mode.

The MSM whores are worried about the optics with 2022 being a midterm election.

When will somebody ask Fauci if he still thinks it was worth the risk of a pandemic to create this chimera coronavirus in a lab in China?

There seems to be a slow narrative shift.

D governors of CO & NJ (Murphy) saying people are sick of masks & mandates.

(Small cracks appearing)

No doubt it’s midterms driven.

These people are political jackels.

Then you have Fuhrer Newsom yesterday issuing a statewide indoor mask mandate for at least the next month. Sigh. .

Natalie Winters, a very cute past co-host and frequent guest on Steve Bannon’s War Room, cracked me up the other day by predicting that in coming months there would be a “Midterms Variant”.

Maybe, just maybe we should start approving and promoting other treatments and therapies instead of just putting everything into the “vaccine” bucket.
The Vaccine is a therapeutic treatment, nothing more, its obviously NOT a cure or this mythical “way out” of Covid.
So lets start allowing everything that shows some promise to be used instead of choking the life out of any new ideas.

Indeed. So dangerous we *must* allow only mail-in ballots.

Other than Clinton, I cant think of a more annoying woman in politics than this person (although Collins comes close).

Nails on a chalk board sounds better.

The CDC can’t move on until they accept naturally acquired immunity.

How can a man deluded enough to think he is a woman think clearly enough to be in charge of CDC?

But meanwhile they don’t talk about the number of people who died from getting the vaccines or why they have put a ring around other treatments that are effective rather than forcing everyone to get Pfizer, Moderna and J+J shots.
