White House coronavirus task force member Anthony Fauci says critics incorrectly believe that “testing is everything” as states prepare to reopen from the coronavirus pandemic.
Fauci, who enjoys broad respect among Democrats for his willingness to contradict President Trump, said testing concerns are over-hyped as Trump proposes that states pursue a phased reopening.
“The emphasis that we’ve been hearing is essentially ‘testing is everything’ and it isn’t,” Fauci said Friday night at a White House press conference.

Please Lord, make it stop!!!
The tests test we must have more test! is nothing but a tool to obstruct any re-opening.
I like Dr. Fauci.
He doesn’t want this to end. He can’t wait to write his book and be consultant on the (sure to come Netflix original) starring Dustin Hoffman as Tony Fauci, and Merrill Streep as the scarf loving Dr. Birx.
Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, spoke after Democrats spent Friday slamming Trump for pushing a reopening of states as reckless without broader testing.
Fauci said that with tests for infection for the virus, “a test means you’re negative now,” and does not guarantee a person would remain virus-free.
Next he’ll go on CNN and say his words were misinterpreted.
Fauci now knows that if the shut down continues, he may end up homeless.
Well, there’s some sad news for the little commie, PIAPS-loving weasel: IF the lines of folks I saw waiting to enter Lowes and Home Depot today with no gloves, masks, etc. are any indication of your credibility, then you have.....NONE, NADA, ZILCH!!!! PLEASE go away!
Good, ‘cause we are going to ignore whatever Covid19 is doing whenever and get on with our lives
Actually Fauci was making a good point.
This guy changes his mind more often than he changes his underwear...if he even wears any.
Please, Pres. Trump, stop putting Dr. Killjoy in front of a microphone...
Smart testing beats more testing...
I like the plan they’ve come up with!
He is an expert at making a good point poorly.
At some point, at President Trump's choosing, he'll be told to step down or be fired.
My husband says Fauci will be given MOH....I sure hope not
Which sounds reasonable, because you may not have it today, but get it tomorrow.
That doesn’t mean I support keeping the economy shut.
Whatever.
Fauhci also gave an interview today where he was asked about some Hook-up website (don’t recall the name of the website) where people arrange for consensual no commitment sex with each other.
His response was, well, yes, that’s fine as long as they realize they are taking a risk doing so. If they acknowledge the risk and agree to have sex it’s fine.
Really? That response totally blows all else he has been advocating for, including DESTROYING our ECONOMY, out of the water.
