... 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.” ...

ok, jokes aside.
1. Social distancing - I doubt in a friendly, independent-minded society like the USA you can improve it much
2. yes, effective treatment is possible
3. Preventative medicine - looks like very possible
4. Vaccines - I’m guessing by December
5. I think this will change it for the worse.
a lot of people don’t want to take precautions and attack those who do. Instead of pain for 6 weeks, they will cause the pain to last 6 months.
Okay, so if you "don't want to be held to that", why say anything? (And how should we interpret this prediction in the context of the 1918 Spanish Flu pandemic, which the CDC says killed 675,000 in the US, when the US population was 1/3 of its present size?)
I respect Dr Fauci’s opinion and years of experience but hopefully he’s wrong and way overestimating the # of future infections.
It’s a fact that “it could happen”.
I think we are all hoping he is wrong. But I see no evidence that he is so far.
Who’s side is this guy on?
and the other days he wrote and article on the NE Journal of Medicine claiming the death rate will be no more than a super charged flu...
Hey I got an idea!
Let’s hide like bitches for THREE months!!
And make the speed limit 5mph.
And outlaw fast food.
This is FREE Republic.
Start acting like we live in one.
Fag republic is another site somewhere.
A month is enough.
What an embarrassment way too many posts and threads on here have been.
Our forefathers and some on here have fought terrible wars to keep our way of life.
Those of us who haven’t can at least act like men when facing a 2 bit virus for God’s sake.
it’s not the black death or ebola.
What a complete and utter disgrace some threads have been.
If you’re that afraid, HIDE for a YEAR.
Don’t drag the rest of the country down with you.
And get some fertilizer and grow a pair.
you preach it central_va. This only affects the old men and those with bad health conditions due to not taking care of themselves.
Everyone should go back to work. If some die, so be it, eh, c_va?
“But he added “I don’t want to be held to that” because the pandemic is “such a moving target.” ...”
In other words he just talks out of that place that’s not his mouth.
“Fauci is an Obama official.
Trump is an idiot for keeping these Zero Heros around.”
No, he is a career bureaucrat. I remember him in the mid-1980s, during the Reagan administration and the AIDS scare.
Doctor Anthony ‘I Love You Hillary’ Fauci must be losing the argument among the members of the Corona Virus Task Force as to when Trump will give the go ahead for portions of the USA to return to work.
That is my take on this recent Fauci Forecast of Impending Doom.
It’s Getting pretty pathetic . The flu has the same mortality rate as this. Anyone with half a brain can see what this is about. Slow Joe needs the economy to be destroyed and us all on food stamps.
This could be crap science.
Dr. Anthony Fauci backtracks on deadliness of virus
https://www.oann.com/dr-anthony-fauci-backtracks-on-deadliness-of-virus/
In 2 hrs he will be out back tracking it. He talks out of the both sides of his mouth.
Or Not ....
LOL, must be the weekend. During the week we see all the fear and panic being tapped down by presentations of the facts and the steps being taken to combat the virus.
Then the weekend comes and our fear mongering POS media hits it hard with the death counts and “abandon all hope” drum beat.
Yup, this is not the flu. This is serious. I am not debating that.
But I am also holding fast that we are overreacting based on no data and a bunch of “could” “if” and “assumption.”
One thing is for sure, our media is pure evil scum and needs some rearranging after this is over (which they will never let it be).
