... The U.S. government’s foremost infection disease expert says the United States could experience more than 100,000 deaths and millions of infections from the coronavirus pandemic. ... “I would say between 100,000 and 200,000 cases,” he said, correcting himself to say he meant deaths. “We’re going to have millions of cases.” But he added “I don’t want to be held to that” because the pandemic is “such a moving target.” ...

I’m not panicked.. I’m not angry. Good Always comes from Bad. However, I do know this is Serious as Hell!! Smarten up tough guys.. You have no control over this. Admit it’s real and deal with it. Be a blessing, not a curse.
Great response !!!
Totally agree
As expected Fake Newsers like that fag Drudge are already running with Fauci’s latest.
Useless speculation. 100k over a period of...? Don’t you think the timeline is somewhat relevant? Of course no one pushing him on it because “credentials”. I know exactly what it’s like dealing with people who are revered for their credentials. Push them and they don’t like it which is why they don’t like Trump. He asks questions that credentialed people never press each other on. If the President allows you a month of leeway to shut down the country and the best you got is between 100k-200k will die then your Genius ceases to be impressive.
Moving target....like the wind in Global Warming Projections?
I could spend a romantic evening with Gisele Bündchen.
Tome Brady could never find out.
“and the most accomplished and highly regarded infectious diseases/immunologist in the past 50 years.”
Then why is he such an idiot?
unbelievably true. This is ridiculous. Love the disclaimer the little troll fauci dropped that he doesn’t want to be held to his FAKE numbers because the virus is a moving target. what a loser.
Where is the Surgeon General in all this? Isn’t this part of his job?
Notice the Wuhan virus is not even in the top ten and isn’t even ten percent of most of them. What a nothingburger (relatively speaking.)
They are very quick to criticize and condemn (and in this instance - they are doing this to their own president.
The Pence team runs the U .S. Government COVID - 19 Response Plan. The Pence team wrote Phase 2C. Phase 2C asks states to shut it down.
Does the buck stop ANYWHERE when it comes to Trump? I thought he played 4D chess? NOw he's a puppet? An idiot who doesn't understand things that can be manipulated by globalists and deep-staters that are bringing him down?
The IDIOCY of this is staggering. And WORSE yet is FLUBROS do not understand their own hypocrisy when they say it - they are bling to their own cognitive dissonance.
So - since they think they know it all - I want them to post what they KNOW - post their numbers.
Post the numbers and let us STOP debating. Put the NUMBERS on the board - put up or shut up that they KNOW.
I asked one earlier and he would not because the globalists controlling the numbers. WUSS MOVE. Now he doesn't trust Trump and Pence to be real about the number of deaths in the US? They are now too stupid? They will be fooled by globalists and deep staters.
Because giving your best informed estimate helps drive policy decisions and could save lives.
Has FR become DU? This is a literal Democrat talking point of many years. If it saves just one life! Blah, blah, blah.
If my aunt had balls she’d be my uncle. If only.....
How could he justify his salary if he went straight to the bottom line: “We just don’t know.”?
When is Fauci going to release Hydroxychloroquine to fight Covid 19? He appears to be protecting Big Pharma hoping they will come up with cure. Problem is millions will be dead by then.
Without a lock down, there will be a sudden, huge influx of infections, a big spike that will overwhelm the medical system. Coronavirus patients would be a big addition to the regular patients and the system couldn’t take care of everyone all at once. The lock down is supposed to make the spike of Coronavirus patients shallower and more gradual, so the medical system is not choked with too many patients at once.
No - you did not trust your President or ANY of the conservative judges on the court to be honest with you. Instead, you trusted a bunch of conspiracy nuts and that speaks to your character.
I think fauci is the one in the first place that pushed the shutdown and now he’s desperately trying to justify it with numbers off the charts. I pray Trump sees through this guy
“Current number are not the future.”
True. But those numbers and the current course of things provide some insight to the future, and things would have to take a drastic and massive turn to the worse to reach Fauci’s predicted outcome. We have not seen any reason for such a turn to the worse, and Fauci has so so wrong so often before.
“Because whatever the numbers end up being, it would be much worse without the lockdown.”
What are you saying? Is it worth ANY price, any amount of DESTRUCTION to the HUGE majority of peoples lives by way of economic catastrophe to MAYBE save the lives of some people who have health issues anyway? Ruining the lives of maybe 100,000,000 people (financially) for what?
People dying from the regular flu and no one reports on this....why?
Italy....ITALY now reporting just 12%...TWELVE PERCENT of reported China Virus deaths can be attributed to this Virus....12% which means a FULL 88% can as easily be attributed to the underlying health issues ALL the dead had (not to mention the average age of these people was OVER 80 yrs)
Purely a media driven panic for purely ideological reasons.
