Fauci: No Recovery Possible If Virus Isn't "Under Control"

President Trump's top doctor on the White House coronavirus task force has pushed back against protesters demonstrating against stay-at-home orders, warning that the US economy won't recover until COVID-19 is "under control."

"This is something that is hurting from the standpoint of economics," Fauci acknowledged during an appearance on ABC's "Good Morning America," in comments which sharply contrast with those by President Trump, who has encouraged the protests, Bloomberg reports.

"Unless we get the virus under control, the real recovery economically is not going to happen," Fauci added. "So what you do if you jump the gun and go into a situation where you have a big spike, you’re going to set yourself back."

Fauci added that while it can be "painful" to follow federal guidelines regarding a phased re-opening, it will "backfire" if done too soon.

We must remember where this guy is coming from. He is government employed, has a government mindset and has very little concern or understanding of the free market and economies in general. To use an analogy, consider his concern being the lungs, and the economy the heart. If the heart stops beating, does not matter much whether the lungs were at risk, therefore, many are saying we will take the risk with our "lungs", but we cannot suffer the stoppage of our "heart". This guy just not get it.

Fauci is a Chinese spy and Democrat plant to continually make this virus sound worst than it is. Fauci says that we cannot open the economy until there is a vaccination. What other virus / illness has this ever been a condition? What virus / illness has a vaccination to completely cure the illness? NONE.

How do you know Fauci isn't a Chinese plant. Something about him just isn't right. He looks cheesy so he most likely is a rat.

Fauci is not fat. Sorry

Your disgust becomes laughable when you make accusations that are false.

I’m not even sure Fauci has a business? I think he is an employee of the government.
