Now he has come out again with the same statement as the cause of current US exploding infections. Just too bad that these factors in infection have to be searched instead of coming from the WH. Too bad that minds like Fauci are forbidden by trump to tell it like it is from the WH podium. Ten million by the election? Easily. We added another million in 15 days. At that rate, another 6 mil in 90 days is just math. I wouldn't be surprised if we're accelerating, too. 4 hours ago, Phil1111 said: If you test negative yesterday you can be positive yesterday.Just sayin. Very true.| But if you tested negative yesterday, it's pretty unlikely (not impossible) that you could be infectious today. So anyone who tests negative yesterday can most likely interact with people who are already close (wife & close friends) with little to no risk to those others. And that pic is just stupid. How long did that photog sit there and wait for Faucci to pull his mask down to take a drink, just to get a pic of him with his mask down. In case nobody is paying attention, there's a gazillion pics & videos out there of him wearing it (properly) in public. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

President trump has defined the C-19 virus as a war and himself as a wartime president. Yet the GOP/trump right wing has decided to attack Fauci's legitimate credibility.Because truth threatens trump's narrative of covid impotence. To the detriment of the war and of American lives. The attacks have degraded the ability of US health authorities to save American lives in this war. That picture has one purpose and Mr. Fauci has never acted to the detriment of his duties. Like Mattis he has served and bit his tongue in the face of lies and unjust criticism. That picture has one purpose.Just too bad some don't recognize its purpose.

The full comment was along the lines of: When there's no community spread, masks aren't needed. Of course, the Alt-Right crowd takes that completely out of context and runs with it.

You have to take your mask off for that. And as long as you do it while you are isolated from other groups of people - it's not a big risk. What's next? Are you going to see a picture of him holding hands with his wife and say "What a fucking hypocrite! He tells us not to come into close contact with people - but for him it's OK?"

Phil1111 1,149 #2841 July 27, 2020 The sad state regarding the lack of information and resources in the US fight against C-19. Is laid out by the National Association of County and City Health Officials. It objected to the WH blocking $25 billion for contact tracing and enhanced testing. It has stated that with the current levels of covid infections the US needs 100,000 contact tracers. Which would cost $3.7 billion. The US federal government has spent nothing to support contact tracing. Arkansas as an example has announced plans to hire 350 contact tracers which if completed would bring the total to 900, 3722 are needed at current infection numbers."In Florida, where the pandemic is surging terribly, the same estimator calculates that 291 tracers per 100,000 residents are needed. Yet as of early July, the state had only seven per 100,000." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ScottishJohn 25 #2847 July 28, 2020 Trump retweeted a slew of posts praising controversial drug hydroxychloroquine for treating COVID-19. He shared (twice) a video of Dr. Stella Immanuel's speech outside Capitol Hill on Friday where she claimed the anti-malaria drug is a 'cure' for the virus. Both times the video was removed from Twitter He also retweeted a post that claimed Dr. Anthony Fauci is leading the country in the wrong direction by refusing to endorse the use of the anti-malaria drug in combating COVID-19. This is Trumps new "Sharpiegate". He is determined to find something to prove himself right regarding the use of hydroxychloroquine for treating COVID-19 that he is willing to promote every quack that agrees with him regardless of what the real experts advise. Trump doesn't care how many die as long as he is proved right Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All you need to know about America today, he is and always will be wrong. Child hospitalizations from Covid-19 surge 23% in Florida as schools statewide must reopen A 9-year-old who died of coronavirus had no known underlying health issues, family says. Kimmie is the fifth minor in Florida to die from Covid-19, according to the latest health records. The others were an 11-year-old boy in Miami-Dade County, an 11-year-old girl in Broward County, a 16-year-old girl in Lee County and a 17-year-old boy in Pasco County." 'Thanks, but no thanks' - Norwegians reject Trump's immigration offer. Norway has 10% of the Covid infections and deaths as compared to the US,per capita.
