Dr. Anthony Fauci said in a CNBC interview on Friday that extended lockdowns could cause "irreparable damage." "We can't stay locked down for such a considerable period of time that you might do irreparable damage and have unintended consequences, including consequences for health," Fauci said. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin told the Senate earlier this week that there was a risk of "permanent damage" to the economy if states kept strict restrictions in place. Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation's top infectious-disease expert, said on Friday that extended lockdowns could cause "irreparable" harm and worse health outcomes. https://www.businessinsider.com/anthony-fauci-irreparable-damage-stay-at-home-too-long-2020-5 Where was that... when we needed it 2 months ago for the low risk group. Virtually nothing has changed since we became aware that the hospitals outside of a few clusters were so empty they were shutting down floors and laying off people or reducing hours. There has been nothing accomplished by locking down the low risk groups after the first 2 weeks. We still face a second wave. We don't have a vaccine. We did not acquire much new immunity. We have harmed millions financially, mentally and health wise. For no scientific reason. --- Note... But... I will say Fauci has done one good thing. The doomers have lost their leverage now. Fauci will be seen as defecting but supporting smart measures. Now the argument will be about the measures. We can be open or we can be closed like CA. He is a political man... switching teams at the perfect time for maximum economic destruction just as the tide on the shutdown is turning due to science and people forming a coalition against the doomers. He has timed is defection perfectly to get ahead of the crazy doomers yet... his words... are like a horoscope. Both sides can find something to support their side. I am very very impressed with his timing... and his perfectly useless statement. Perfect politics.

Spin, spin, spin! https://americanbridgepac.org/about-us/ Everyone is going to get the damned Covid. Be done with it already! Where are the antibody tests?!?
Clown Fauci realized that this data was about to come out. Infection Fatality rate at .3 percent given current data per CDC. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/hcp/planning-scenarios.html We never should have been shutdown outside the clusters in places like NYC... certainly not low risk groups. Clown Fauci probably killed more than he saved considering how many were already infected from before the shutdown... and he and his team wrecked the economic future of millions.
its the data not the messenger... is the data compromised The math is easy so what is your problem with it?
You realize this paper is about 5 possible planning scenarios. The paper does not state the Infection Fatality Rate is 0.3%. How do you arrive at this fantasy.
You realize if you could read and take in data without fear.... as you scroll over to the last Column it says "best estimate" You are such a doomer idiot ... I better get CNN to confirm for you...... https://www.cnn.com/2020/05/22/health/cdc-coronavirus-estimates-symptoms-deaths/index.html (CNN)In new guidance for mathematical modelers and public health officials, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is estimating that about a third of coronavirus infections are asymptomatic. The CDC also says its "best estimate" is that 0.4% of people who show symptoms and have Covid-19 will die, and the agency estimates that 40% of coronavirus transmission is occurring before people feel sick. --- When you take .4 of the Infection Fatality rate of those showing symptoms and you add another 35% of the people (they ones who don't show symptoms) you get and overall Infection Fatality Rate of about .3 By the way... I checked two sites... .3 is very similar to the infection fatality rate of H1N1 . Did we shut down for H1N1? You fricken doomer SOBs have probably killed more people than you have saved and you destroyed our economy and you never had the data and we have known you all obviously can't think in systems. For those of you who are Americans... for the safety of us all you should never vote again. .
So once again it is just 1 of 5 Pandemic Planing scenarios in a paper. It is not the CDC stating the measured COVID infection fatality rate is 0.3%.
