“Speaking on CNN, the immunologist said the US could start to reopen next month, but warned a second wave of the virus could still hit the country. “During the interview, Fauci revealed that the government had been advised to begin social distancing measures in February. “President Trump announced plans to roll out "self-isolating" in mid March.” Sounding like a modern-day Pontius Pilate, Fauci said ,“We look at it from a pure health standpoint.” "We make a recommendation, often the recommendation is taken, sometimes it's not. "But it is what it is.”
“Fauci was then asked if lives could have been saved if stay at home measures had started in February, rather than almost a month later. (Sun) "Obviously you could logically say that if you had a process that was ongoing and you started mitigation earlier you could've saved lives, obviously," he replied. "No-one is going to deny that. "But there was a lot of pushback about shutting things down back then.”The “mitigation” from computer models pushed by both Doctors Fauci and Birx didn’t save the tragic deaths of some 21,000 Americans.
“There are now at least 530,830 confirmed cases in the country, and 20,614 deaths. (Sun)Media reports claim that deaths from the virus in the U.S. surpass Italy, making America the leading country for death by the coronavirus.

“Fauci was pressed multiple times by anchor Jake Tapper on when the US might start to lift isolation restrictions. (Sun) “He eventually said the country might be able to begin to open up next month, but said a "rolling re-entry" would have to happen and it was not a one-size-fits-all approach. "It's not going to be a light switch," he said. "It will depend on where you are in the country.” "Fauci expressed a "cautious optimism", pointing out that the admissions into ICU units in New York, the worst hit state, had started to flatten.
"It's started to turn a corner...it's cautious optimism that we are seeing that decrease. "Once you turn that corner, hopefully we will see a very sharp decline. "Then you can start thinking about how we can keep it that way and prevent it from re-surging." "On Saturday, Trump declared the US economy would see a "tremendous surge - like a rocket ship" once coronavirus lockdowns are lifted and people return to work. “He made the prediction after hitting back at claims he saw a memo from White House trade adviser Peter Navarro back in January warning that two million Americans could die from coronavirus. “Earlier, Trump slammed The New York Times over a report which cited unnamed sources who claimed the president did not listen to early warnings about an impending pandemic.
"When the Failing @nytimes or Amazon @washingtonpost writes a story saying “unnamed sources said”, or any such phrase where a person’s name is not used, don’t believe them," he tweeted. "Most of these unnamed sources don’t exist. They are made up to defame & disparage. They have no 'source'..." he added.About Dr. Fauci’s often repeated “re-surging” warnings, COVID-19 will keep rolling on until the Barack Obama-led Democrats get their way for a mail-in vote by November 3. (Obama Exploits Pandemic to Push for Mail-in Voting, April 11, 2020)
"Speaking to Fox's Jeanine Pirro on Saturday night, Trump said the decision over when to start re-opening the country will be the "toughest that I will ever have to make". (Sun) "He added: "I’ll be basing it on a lot of very smart people, a lot of professionals – doctors and business leaders. "There are a lot of things that go into a decision like that. "And it’s going to be based on a lot of facts and a lot of instinct also. Whether we like it or not – there is a certain instinct to it. "We have to get our country back – people want to get back – they want to get back to work.” “Trump said he will be making a decision "reasonably soon" and he is currently setting up a team of leaders from a range of fields.”Make it faster than “reasonably soon”, Mr. President or there will be nothing left of the country to get back. Just from watching the televised Coronavirus Task Force, anyone could have predicted that its top two television stars would soon be doing what all other Obama appointees do—turning around and blaming President Trump. Climb out of this latest impeachment effort, Mr. President. Go back to your April 5, 2015 Easter message and put it into action tomorrow:
Have a fantastic, beautiful and happy Easter everyone and then, when Easter is over, have great wins and triumphs in life. Never give up!
