Fauci says Trump no longer talks much to him or the rest of the coronavirus task force

[mucifer]

Dr. Anthony Fauci, the US's top infectious-disease expert, said President Donald Trump was now only rarely meeting with public-health experts on the coronavirus crisis.

In an interview with the health-news outlet STAT News published early Monday, Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, was asked whether he was in frequent contact with the president on the progress of vaccine candidates.

"No," Fauci said.

"We used to have task force meetings every single day, including Saturday and Sunday, and about 75% of the time after the task force meeting we'd meet with the president," Fauci added. "So I was meeting with him four times a week back, a month or so ago. "But as you probably noticed, that the task force meetings have not occurred as often lately. And certainly my meetings with the president have been dramatically decreased."

5. COVID-19 isn't on his radar at all. Sometimes he even speaks about it

in the past tense. He really wants it to be over. But by the end of June, it will be impossible to ignore.

6. He's going to say he's done a brilliant job, declare victory, drop it in the Governor's laps and

wash his hands of any responsibility. You just hide and watch.

7. America is open for business.

The Pandemic is over in his mind.

Sad, but true.

8. Seems to be over in most people's minds

at least until the ERs and beds start filling up again. Also, did we ever actually flatten the curve successfully?

9. In some states. In Illinois the curve was flattened. Now all bets are off.

[Alacritous Crier]

10. He's moved on...

to giving Hiterlesque bunker pep talks, (castigations,) to governors who are lightyears ahead of him in competence and integrity. So, you know, no time for old news like COVID-19.

12. All Fauci was to him was a prop for his Covid camera time

At least now Fauci isn't wasting three hours of his workday being an extra on the set.
