Anthony Fauci has told all states it’s time to stop allowing any exemptions tosocial-distancing guidelines, and warned that forcing people to stay home across the nation is the “only thing we have” in the federal government’s arsenal to fight back against the coronavirus pandemic.
Appearing on NBC’s Today show on Thursday morning, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, stopped just short of telling President Donald Trump to order a national stay-at-home order at the federal level, saying states are still able to make their own rules.
But, asked about state-level exemptions to distancing rules—such as some religious services in Florida, florists in New Hampshire, and hair salons and golf courses in Arizona—Fauci responded, “When you see things like some of those exemptions—I can’t make any official proclamations here—but I can say [to] really seriously consider [if] those exemptions [are] appropriate when you think about what’s going on. I urge people at the leadership at the state level to really take a close look at those kinds of decisions.”

Americans NEED to take the mitigation guidelines seriously. We are fragile and this virus takes no prisoners. During this time of crisis some will attempt a claim to fame however misguided. Trump and his team are fighting an uphill battle; why is the liberal left at odds with them rather than on a bipartisan note rallying to help the country get through this? Why is the media he!! bent on the "gotcha" questions rather than trying to put some positive spin on the herculean efforts of so many? Do these radicals want failure? Is this the latest attempt to win 2020?
Wow! Dr. Mehmet Oz just excoriated Dr. Fauci over his stance on hydroxychloroquine.
He says Fauci is ignoring case studies that show the stuff actually saves lives and is too reliant on standard medical bureaucracy.
It's PAST time!
Time to declare Marshal law with curfews, and shoot to kill orders for violators!
Those studies have many flaws. One had no control group!
Trump is to worried about his stock market.
Limbaugh said it's no big deal if we lose a "few people" to save
the economy.
republicans are done this year.
You are begging for your own enslavement?
What is wrong with you?
The government lies about everything
Fauci is the new "MAD SCIENTIST". Get rid of this idiot with no common sense.
Wake up and smell the coffee idiot, if a democrat wins any election, I'm calling BS!!!
Pelosi came up with that Socialist idea !!!!
All business and Healthcare should be controlled by our government, this clearly proves individuals can't do anything right. When told to stay home the people still go out to visit and gather!
He most definitely enjoys the limelight.
China must pay dearly for this!
Bernie is giving the orders !!! Socialist America has begun !!!!
