Fauci was treated like an idiot when he said 100.000 a day was going to happen. We know the orange man is bad.

Hello Nordberg,
He was right.
Dr Fauci, back in June:
"Anthony Fauci, the nation’s top infectious disease expert, warned members of Congress on Tuesday that the U.S. could reach 100,000 new COVID-19 cases per day if the country does not get a handle on the pandemic.
Speaking before the Senate health committee, Fauci said the country is heading in the “wrong direction" as the average number of daily cases continues to go up.
“We need to do something about that and we need to do it very quickly," said Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. "
Fauci predicts 100,000 new COVID-19 cases per day if US can't control outbreaks
YUP! WE ARE OUT OF CONTROL

I posted this on FB earlier
Italy had one of the worst outbreaks in Europe early in March and its hospitals in Lombardia were overwhelmed. Italy too is experiencing a delayed second wave and rates are approaching those in the UK. However here is an interesting article in Corriere della Sera regarding the views of one of their leading virologists Prof. Palù . His views contrast starkly with the more pessimistic views of SAGE.
Here is a translation of his key points:
“There is far too much alarmism. Of course there is a second wave, because the virus never stopped circulating even though in July cases were falling thanks to the summer weather, outside living, and high UV that kills the virus. Now the return from holidays, change of season, reopening of the economy and above all the return to schools has reversed that trend.”
“I am against any new lockdown as a citizen because it would be economic suicide, as a scientist because it penalises the education of the young who are our future, and as a doctor because it would mean that the sick especially those with cancer would not have access to be cured”. And all of this to confront an illness Covid-19, which has anyway a low lethality. We have to put a stop to this hysteria”.
“Forget the PCR cases data.
Point 1: Up to 95% of cases are asymptomatic so cannot be defined as sick.
Point 2: Certainly these people have been infected but that doesn’t mean they are contagious i.e. can infect others. They can only be contagious if they have a high viral load, but currently available tests can’t distinguish this in time to avoid these infections”.
“Only the numbers in intensive care really matter.”
Giorgio Palu, Prof of Virology & Microbiology, Padova,
It is clear that there is a balance between curbing Covid protections through lockdowns and the damage done to other health threats, the economy, mental health, children’s education and jobs. NPIs only make sense if there is a vaccine available say within 3 months. Otherwise lockdowns just delay the inevitable.

Dr Fauci consistently polls FAR higher than Trump:
Nearly 2 in 3 voters favor Fauci over Trump:

It's only natural for Comrade maggot to run interference for the virus.

Once the pandemic began spreading in the United States, the President’s failure to lay out clear, consistent guidelines for cities, states, businesses, and school districts to control the spread of COVID-19 created widespread confusion and chaos.
His reckless disregard for the advice of public health experts has made it harder for mayors and governors to protect the American people.

For the first time, I got a flu shot this year, because of covid-19 and scheduled for another covid-19 test Monday, this will be my fourth test?!!
I take this pandemic seriously, by wearing a mask, social distancing and hand washing?!!

For people who risk losing their insurance coverage if they lose their jobs in President Trump’s recession, Democrats believe the federal government should pick up 100 percent of the tab for COBRA insurance, which keeps people on their employer-sponsored plans, without restrictions.
We will re-open the Affordable Care Act marketplaces, even outside of the normal open enrollment season, and expand subsidies to make it easier for people to buy health coverage.
Democrats will also make available on the marketplace a public option administered through the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services which includes a platinum-level choice, with low fees and no deductibles.
Low-income Americans will be automatically enrolled in the public option at zero cost to them.
We will keep these emergency measures in place until the pandemic ends.
