White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Communications Dan Scavino publicly blasted White House Coronavirus Task Force member Dr. Anthony Fauci Sunday on Facebook.
Scavino posted a cartoon by conservative illustrator Ben Garrison which showed Fauci as a faucet flushing the economy down a sink, with labels including Indefinite lockdown! and Shut up and obey!
Sorry, Dr. Faucet! At least you know if Im going to disagree with a colleague, such as yourself, its done publicly and not cowardly, behind journalists with leaks, Scavino commented. See you tomorrow!

White House health advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci warned Tuesday that the United States could face even more suffering and death from the coronavirus if some states rush to reopen businesses too early.
It could also hinder states on the road to try to get back to an economic recovery, he testified at a hearing before the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions. It would almost turn the clock back rather than going forward. That is my major concern.
The White House has laid out a plan that allows states to gradually reopen local businesses as cases and hospitalizations decline and testing increases, among other checkpoints, Fauci, head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said. He added hes worried that some states are loosening social distancing restrictions even as their Covid-19 cases continue to rise.
What Ive expressed then and again is my concern that if some areas, cities, states, what have you, jump over those various checkpoints and prematurely open up without having the capability of being able to respond effectively and efficiently, my concern is that we will start to see little spikes that might turn into outbreaks, he said.

(70,613 posts)The Russia/Trump plot was really Mueller, Schiff, the FBI, and others fault not that Team Trump worked with Russia, Stone, Facebook, and the Russian Mob to rig our elections. So now it is really Fauci's fault not that Trump and company fucked it all up.

The virus does not care about their ideology. If you give it a chance to spread and kill, it will.

(999 posts)The economy is dependent on public confidence of it. It depends on consumers feeling safe to spend. With the virus roaming like this, many will stay at home and withhold spending.

This is what these fucksticks hear 24/7/365.
It's like road rage. Being behind the wheel of a 2,000 lb car turns some people into raging hatefilled asshats.
What do you think sitting behind a microphone does?
Next time we march in the streets, it ought to be in front of every local radio station broadcasting this hateful crap.
