Dr. Fauci says the surge in new infections is because the country never shut down entirely?
\nLord love a duck, that’s the most stupid thing I think I’ve heard to date from a supposed authority on health.
\nIt is flatly impossible to ‘entirely shut down’ the U.S.
\nSo, while he’s technically correct, the statement is nonsensical garbage.
\nWhether he knows that and is spouting propaganda, or he believes the populace is so stupid we’ll believe that without question and demand the impossible, or he’s so insulated from the reality of how the world actually operates, he doesn’t realize just how stupid he sounds makes no difference.
\nThis man is a clown and needs to be removed from any position of power to make decisions.<\/p>\n

CDC chief says Northerners heading South for vacation may be to blame for surge in coronavirus cases, not state reopenings<\/a><\/p>\n

The current surge in coronavirus cases across the U.S. South may have been caused by Northerners who traveled South for vacation around Memorial Day, said Dr. Robert Redfield, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you look at the South, everything happened around June 12 to June 16. It all simultaneously kind of popped,\u201d he\u00a0said in an interview<\/a>\u00a0Tuesday with\u00a0The Journal of the American Medical Association\u2019s Dr. Howard Bauchner. Independent of state reopening plans, \u201cwe\u2019re of the view that there was something else that was the driver. Maybe the Memorial Day, not weekend, but the Memorial Day week, where a lot of Northerners decided to go South for vacations.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n
Because the South hadn\u2019t yet experienced large outbreaks like the northeast, many Southern states and cities reopened bars and gyms early and didn\u2019t require people to wear masks wearing or to practice social distancing \u201cthat seriously,\u201d Redfield said. Once the virus was introduced in those areas, that could have allowed it to spread quickly.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cSomething happened in mid-June that we\u2019re now confronting right now,\u201d he added. \u201cAnd it\u2019s not as simple as just saying it was related to timing of reopening or not reopening.\u201d<\/p>\n

The comment by Redfield appears to contradict remarks by White House health advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci, who said in an interview Monday that the\u00a0United States is seeing a surge in new Covid-19 infections because the country never shut down entirely.<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Early in the outbreak, U.S.\u00a0coronavirus\u00a0cases peaked at around 30,000 new cases a day before falling and plateauing at roughly 20,000 new cases per day in mid-may, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University. As some states began to reopen in late April through June, new cases began to surge, Fauci told\u00a0Stanford Medicine Dean Dr. Lloyd Minor during an interview. The U.S. is now averaging roughly 60,000 new cases a day, according to a seven-day average of cases tracked by University.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe did not shut down entirely,\u201d Fauci,\u00a0director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said. \u201cWe need to draw back a few yards and say, \u2018OK, we can\u2019t stay shut down forever.\u2019 …You\u2019ve got to shut down but then you\u2019ve got to gradually open.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
