Fauci Confirms Trump Rebuffed Social Distancing Advice

“Dr. Anthony Fauci appeared to confirm a bombshell New York Times report which said he and other Trump administration officials recommended the implementation of physical distancing to combat the coronavirus in February, but were rebuffed for almost a month,” The Guardian reports.

Said Fauci: “You know… as I have said many times, we look at it from a pure health standpoint. We make a recommendation. Often, the recommendation is taken. Sometimes, it’s not… It is what it is. We are where we are right now.”

Wager the greedy pig,get a confirmed covid case and have him cough right into Trump's face repeatedly. See if ugly orange boy thinks he's immune and everyone should go to work while he sickens and dies . Make him prove to people covid is so harmless, have sick covid infected people cough in pence, Jared,Melania,Mitch and Lindsey's faces just as controls for the experiment.

Challenge that stupid ego of his
Mock him as a coward if he refuses.

Just a thought.

Social distancing could and should have started in February or earlier. I don't understand why they gave him the power to muzzle the message when it was clearly their job to speak up and save lives. Thousands are dead and dying who didn't have to be because they didn't say anything when they should have.
