Have to love people like Rand Paul. Since this is a completely new and complicated global outbreak, and since some predictions (not all) were not 100% correct in their predictions, we should throw up our hands and we shouldn't listen to any expertise or what we've already figured out scientifically. I hear tell the virus can be found in the eye, so his actual, long-dormant expertise may come in handy yet! And at least he has a nice beard going.
Government of Taiwan, Hong Kong, New Zealand, and others disagree with Rand Paul. Some didn't even lock down as much as the US, yet they have a fraction of the cases and death, and were able to crush the curve. Facts are government policy matters, from requiring mask to locking down, from tracing, testing, and isolation to wishing it away, from taking it serious to ignoring it, from being prepared to ignoring it, from being quick and aggressive in response to ignoring it, from using data and tech to ignoring it, from following a pandemic playbook to ignoring it, from great leadership to horrible leadership... they matter in the past, now and tomorrow. On a side note... how long that bluish line last matter too
I'm amazed when I talk to in my family about the job they did in HK on this and how they haven't had to shut down like here. The situation with the virus has gotten well enough in HK that people are back protesting.. No joke. What HK, Taiwan and SK did it's too late to do here. They shut down their borders early, did a lot of testing and contact tracing. The infection is so wide here now that shutting down the borders does little and contact tracing will be hard to do with millions infected. All of this stuff should've been done early and we didn't
With all due respect to Dr Fauci, which prediction has he nailed? Thank you Dr Fauci Signed ASTRODOME 5-13
I think it’s more about the predictions and prophecies he’s tempered expectations on that have been correct. Nearly every prediction (heat will kill it, Hydroxy, etc) Fauci has been there to tell us how unlikely it is that this is a magic bullet and tell the facts about what we know vs what we do not know. Which is still not much other than new bits of info here and there that make this virus more and more frustrating for everyone. Fauci has been very very right about how humble we should be about how little we know and how big of a challenge this really is going to be.
but we should and can still do them ... it’s too late for the 1st massive wave but may be key to prevent the 2nd one and 3rd one .... at least it reduces the chance
Well, he’s a leading expert in the field of infectious disease and his prediction that he would be straight forward, honest and tell it like it is. Explainer in Chief is one of his role. Advisor to Congress is another. Any one can nit pick his words out of context and do damages and we have seen that plenty in an effort to discredit him.
There are wild swings in day to day figures but GA is showing a gradual rise in cases. FL looks like it had a peak in early April and then declined but may be rising again. https://www.google.com/search?q=geo...0.69i59j0l7.3885j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 https://www.google.com/search?ei=_-...hUKEwj28La67bDpAhVZXc0KHXh5AboQ4dUDCAw&uact=5
Don't get me wrong, I am rooting for him. Ultimately it is up to Trump to put people in the right positions and Fauci has been subpar in my opinion. That is on Trump. He says one thing then walks it back weeks later.
It's a no win situation for Dr. Fauci. He says that we might have millions of deaths (this is still actually possible) if we don't do things like stay at home orders and social distancing. We put in stay at home orders and practice social distancing. It looks like we aren't having millions of death so people say Fauci is wrong...
Dr. Fauci's biggest problems are trump and his supporters. They purposely misstate what he has said for their own benefit... and that benefit is to the detriment of the country.
[CBS] Doctors Without Borders dispatches team to the Navajo Nation Doctors Without Borders is best known for sending medical professionals into international conflict zones in the midst of medical crises. The organization has teams in Afghanistan, Iran, Sierra Leone, Venezuela and 66 other countries. It did not, however, have a medical presence in the U.S. — until now. Jean Stowell, head of the organization's U.S. COVID-19 Response Team, told CBS News that Doctors Without Borders has dispatched a team of nine to the hard-hit Navajo Nation in the southwest U.S. because of the crisis unfolding there. The team consists of two physicians, three nurse/midwives, a water sanitation specialist, two logisticians and a health promoter who specializes in community health education.
