I’m starting to think Fauci will benefit from the destruction of the United States.

He's not dangerous because he loves libs, you idiot. He's dangerous because he gets to look at the cost/benefits in a silo'd medical perspective, and that seems to be driving policy.

That is his job.

On June 5, 1944 the weatherman's job was to tell Eisenhower there was a significant chance of high seas and thunderstorms the next day. Eisenhower had to make the "go" call. Fauci's job is to inform POTUS of medical risks. Mnuchin and Powell are there to inform him of economic risks. Trump has to make the "go" call.

People will die because you have summed up a large reason that life is even worth living in the first place.

If all we wanted to do was live in our own bedrooms and stare at a wall we would not have progressed past a few thousand years ago at best.

What is the point?

You do realize the virus will still be here when we come out of hiding, don't you? It's not just going to go away and there will be another wave of this shite in the fall.

I have a feeling Fauci will be fired before this is over.

This does not end when the deaths stop. This ends when we treat this like other contagious diseases and live our life with the risk we may catch something and if we do there is a 1-2% chance we die.

We can't close the Nation forever.

Indeed. We will go to start May because the curve will be flattened enough to manage it in the healthcare system with supplemental support. If governors need more time in their areas, they can call for it. Then it's up to the people there to decide if they support such measures continuing.

In conjunction with a pandemic of a new virus for which we have no vaccine, cure or herd immunity, it is a good idea to continue some level of social distancing for a time equal to the incubation period.

A year from now, we will have a vaccine. We will have a cure of some type. We will have some level of herd immunity. As a result, there will be essentially zero chance that a new outbreak will overwhelm the healthcare system. The “curve” will be flattened FOR us.

Not rocket science, people.

You're exactly right. He's gone on record saying he doesn't believe Mnuchin/Kudlow when counsel Trump about long-term economic peril due to protracted social distancing.

No doubt the guy is world-class in his field, but like a lot of really smart people with knowledge that is very deep but not very wide, he deludes himself into thinking he's just as brilliant in areas he knows little about.

So he's not really comprehending the

No problem.

But an Aspy would not have misspelled “y’all.”

It's inane.

Maybe I'm reading your post wrong, but you can't believe if we all followed the government's social distancing order for the incubation period, we could all come out of our caves, go back to work, and COVID would be a bad memory?

Did I say he was dangerous BECAUSE he loves Hillary or did I say AND he loves Hillary. Learn to read.
The man has an agenda, as do many Democrats who want a more socialist Country if the whole Country/World goes down the economic shitter. He laughed straight up behind Trump's back during a conference last week when trump was mentioning the economic cost of the shutdown. The man is old, myopic on data driven everything...even if that takes way too long(see drug therapy), and is obviously in the other camp up to his nuts. Quit being so short sighted. You are the idiot if you don't think he can set policy specifically on a lib agenda and disguise it as for "the good of us all"

this is what i don't understand. you're going to have to face this virus at some point.

ok, so libs are going to say "muh old people." so you have a choice. sit in your house hoping to avoid 19 or realize you're going to die of something, might as well live while you're here. it's that simple.

next, libs are going to say "muh healthcare system overload." the system hasn't been overloaded for anything. not h1n1. not the worst flu seasons. not this virus, even in the second worst hotspot in the world, nyc.

medieval humanity survived the black plague with no modern medicine, no modern communication and no social measures. at some point, we just have to live life and realize it's dangerous at times
