Today Fauci said he won't advocate a national lockdown until things get "really, really bad."
But how bad do things have to get? We're already averaging over 50,000 new infections per day. Experts are predicting 2,500-3,000 deaths per day by December, and a total of 400,000 dead by early 2021. Many states are already running out of hospital beds. Only 2 states currently have downward trends in their infection rates. And we're still in early fall. What happens when people really start congregating in groups indoors as the weather worsens? When people gather in extended families for the holidays? When influenza rates starts to peak? When all those kids attending in-person classes start to infect their older and vulnerable family members?
At what point do Fauci and his supporters stop saying, "he's just trying to protect his job," or "he can do more good if he's still employed?"
