In his latest round of interviews and appearances since reports emerged earlier this week that forces within DHHS were trying to muzzle the good doctor, Dr. Fauci said Thursday that despite the ongoing decline in daily COVID-19 cases, Americans shouldn’t let up on the battle against the pandemic.
During a round table discussion at Harvard Medical School on Thursday, with the US closing in on 200,000 deaths and 6 million cases, Dr. Fauci warned that “we need to hunker down and get through this fall and winter, because it’s not going to be easy,” Fauci said.
Regarding the emerging newest “hot spot” in the Midwest, and the looming threat of a second wave in the US like what’s happening right now in France and Spain, Dr. Fauci warned that “it’s really quite frankly depressing to see that because you know what’s ahead.”
Fauci, one of the world’s leading AIDS researchers since the 1980s, warned about the dangers of underestimating the virus. He compared the pandemic to the early days of HIV, in terms of how it escalated, and, in COVID-19’s case, how it might continue to escalate.
“We’ve been through this before,” he said. “Don’t ever, ever underestimate the potential of the pandemic. And don’t try and look at the rosy side of things.”
Then again, Dr. Fauci’s predictions haven’t always been reliable, but we suppose that’s another matter. The good doctor didn’t mention President Trump or his comments as reported by Bob Woodward. Apparently, the doctor was unwilling to discuss this week’s vaccine news as well as the doctor ”
“We’ve really got to realize that from Day One, you don’t know it all,” he said. “And you’ve got to be flexible enough to change your recommendations, your guidelines, your policies, depending upon the information.”
We imagine the press will be swift to point out that Dr. Fauci is once again covering for Trump, while also persisting with the doom and gloom message that he knows annoys Trump.
At this juncture, everyone knows the dangers of flu and viruses. We also know what a virus is and we know how virus usually work or at least what they’ve done in the past, each is little different. Virus are not living organisms, 2 proteins ( H and N ) and a combination of 16 different chemicals 1-16, H1N1, H1N9, ect. We also know Virus stay together longer in cold dry environment, flu season, indoor conditioned air ( think Legionnaires Disease ). Virus is inert until it finds a host cell then it makes that cell produce blueprints of the virus. Each print is not exact, off a little from the original making it more susceptible to falling apart, that’s the bottleneck. BUT if it breaks through the bottleneck and mutates we could see a much more dangerous viral outbreak. Most masks are worthless. N95 or better made w/ meltblown plastic are good one-time use masks. If you wash them or use alcohol they lose their electrostatic charge and are near worthless. Masks most effective are made with nanofiber, multi-use and you can clean with ethanol/alcohol 70% . I say use UV light, it’s effective but more time consuming
What’s more effective than a mask is hand washing often. Use 70% alcohol 90% is not effective
