Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said Friday that it is time to reopen the economy, but warned that states should do so cautiously, with precautions to prevent a resurge.
Speaking in an interview with CNBC, Fauci said maintaining stay-at-home orders for too long could cause “irreparable damage.” He dismissed claims that public health experts in the administration were urging prolonged lockdowns, which were imposed early in the outbreak to curb the spread of COVID-19, the respiratory illness caused by the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, commonly known as the novel coronavirus.
“Now is the time, depending upon where you are and what your situation is, to begin to seriously look at reopening the economy, reopening the country to try to get back to some degree of normal,” Fauci told CNBC’s Meg Tirrell.
His comments echo what he said on Thursday, during an online coaching and learning session of the COVID-19 Local Response Initiative, a project to help city leaders cope with the pandemic and its resulting public health and economic crises.
Currently, data shows that more than 90,000 people in the United States have died from the virus so far.

Are you listening Hogan , reopen D-head .
If there were a such thing as a real journalist anymore when interviewing fauci they would ask is Why a vaccine is being developed for a virus with a 99 percent survival rate?
Yea after Trump says to open up. Now this ___hole says it's time. Go figure!
45000 were in nursing homes.
Isn't this the same guy who said the Country should remain closed for the rest of this year? No business, no school, no college,no church. I stand on the premise politics thru money rules the landscape even in the liberal zone. Apparently even crackpots like Hogan and Cuomo have been touched and are relenting because their take is beginning to dwindle and their cheerleaders have been dispatched to the electorate to try and save face. Even the Governor of California has stepped into the limelight after seeing the rebellion of the voters.(Republicans are winning) They see the writing on the wall. Corroza was in Crisfield last week singing the praise of Hogan....She says he's a 'great Governor'. Send her for a drug test.
Fauci is too old, stuck in old wisdom and tactics, coupled with the fact he's a Dumbocrat. I'd say he's getting his marching orders from Pelosi and Schumer with the intent of smearing the President.
They'ed as well suck it up and realize four more years of Trump is on the way.!!! I'll bet that makes Schumer and Pelosi cringe. Ha.
FAUCI CHANGES HIS STORY DAILY; SO WHY DO YOU EVEN GIVE HIM 'AIRTIME'? THERE ARE MANY OTHERS MUCH MORE CREDIBLE THAN HIM.
DUH !&#@!!!
Trump made him say that > he is just a Puppet !!!! on a string !!!
THIS MAN IS A CHAMELEON OWNED BY THE DEMOCRATS. HE IS PLAYING A GAME WITH THE WHITE HOUSE AND IS A PLANT PUT THERE BY THE LAST ADMINISTRATION WHO IS PULLING HIS STRINGS. THERE IS LOADS OF $$$ IN THIS FOR HIM. HE IS SUCH PERSONAL FRIENDS WITH GATES, CHINA, W.H.O., CLINTONS AND OBAMAS PLUS MAKING VACCINES TO MAKE HIM A HEALTHY PROFIT. THAT IS WHY THEY ARE FIGHTING THE FORMULA PRESIDENT TRUMP RECOMMENDS. BIG PHARMA AND CONGRESS WOULD NOT MAKE ANY $$$ OFF OF TRUMPS MEDICINE.
