Fauci warns U.S. is "knee-deep" in coronavirus first wave

Washington — The United States is still "knee-deep" in its first wave of coronavirus infections and must act immediately to tackle the recent surge, the country's top infectious diseases expert said Monday.

Anthony Fauci said the number of cases had never reached a satisfactory baseline before the current resurgence, which officials have warned risks overwhelming hospitals in the South and West.

"It's a serious situation that we have to address immediately," Fauci said in a web interview with National Institutes of Health director Francis Collins.

But Fauci added he didn't strictly consider the ongoing rise in cases a "wave."

"It was a surge or a resurgence of infections superimposed upon a baseline," he said.

"People die. Get used to it" Donald Trump. Seriously that's the campaign message they're considering.

We bought Trump three months of time to come up with a coherent plan for dealing with the pandemic. He wasted all that time and all that effort ginning up divisive controversies over ineffective drug treatments like hydroxychloroquine, arguing about the efficacy of wearing masks and maintaining social distances, contradicting the medical professionals, and revving up his idiot base to distrust everyone that told them anything different from whatever he was blarping out on any given day.

Have I thanked the Senate Republicans lately for leaving this incompetent charlatan in office?
