Pelosi: Fauci A ‘Truth Teller,’ Lifting Restrictions Brings ‘Uncertainty’ | Andrea Mitchell | MSNBC

    1. @ATL Braves only reason the flu kills more people now is because it’s way more widespread. Last season the flu killed ~34,200 in the US (CDC #s). If covid19 infected the same # of people as the flu, with a death rate of 3.4% that would be over a million deaths. That is what makes this a bigger threat than the flu.

    2. Ha yeah, but people should be cremated instead (as long as it doesn’t conflict with your beliefs) It’s much more eco friendly 😊

    3. @ATL Braves please refer to the comment I already posted under that video. The professor is extrapolating numbers but fails to consider the fact that we cannot care 4 that many seriously ill people when u scale up the number of infected across the entire population.

    1. Pamela Wiles ok 👌 99.9 percent of people who are 80 are not anyway they can stay home till it’s safe others can go back to work

    2. Americans all have a hearst witha luggage rack ready to take it with them when they run out of toilet paper

    1. grow forit Your brains are as small as Trumps they stopped the Ebola threat in Africa ,the great minds of the world are being handcuffed by the orange baboon.

    2. @cbsctomh you make an assumption about my like on one comment with nothing more than observational analysis … yep , i’m sad , i’m sad for you .

    1. @pelissey I think he’s mistaken fauci for that worthless corrupted POS tedros of the WHO. fauci is a credible honest guy.

    2. That is unfortunate because he literally said go to the CDC website for information. Our leader is still shaping the message to a degree. The CDC website said masks were effective up to 80% publicly he said different.
      Maybe go to the site and compare messages before such an assertion. He is being directed publicly by a national security agenda.

    1. If you don’t praise him, you will be censored. Donny said the Governors ought to thank him, and, of course, the implication is States will not receive any aid from the Federal Government if they fail to praise the Dear Leader. How’s that for a Commander-in-Chief? What a disgrace!

    2. Well if he gets em fired, he’ll get backlashed. It’s happenin right now with his nonsense talk.

  1. Rescind the tax cuts. If we’re at war, then we have to fight it like it’s a war. That means the tax cuts need to go. Stock buy backs won’t help stop the virus. Money for health care will.

    1. Rescind Polititions paychecks and benefits. Theyre all millionaires and billionaires making kickback money on the side. They dont do their jobs so doc their pay

    2. @American Pie ALL OF THEM! YES! Do the same for every CEO, and for all those Media pundits who continue to lie so that they can protect their paychecks!

    3. What happens then when this is over and half the country is completely broke and without jobs? Seems like ignoring the economy is just as ignorant as letting the virus run rampant.

    1. Jeff Zabelski your just a taker that’s why you like here trump says stop being lazy but u love crazy Nancy u should. Move to here state Nd live in a tent 👍

  2. Look at Hong Kong. They had everything under control, but let their guard down. We still have idiots roaming around like we aren’t in a pandemic!

    1. Sigh
      HK was provided with the proper testing & PPE protective gears. HK also has been having a very strict policy. However all that changed when overseas Hongkongers all rushed back to HK all over the world in their attempt to escape the complacency, lack of testing/policy to deal with the pandemic everywhere. All the new confirmed positive cases were fr oversea returnees.

    1. Jon Jones – You’re the kinda guy that gives your generation a bad name. That’s why you’re not taken seriously. You guys have some fresh ideas which I welcome with open arms but that kinda talk is immature and hateful beyond words.

    2. Barbara Hawkins that’s exactly what they are saying. When they have to start deciding who lives or dies because they are short on equipment…sadly it will be people of the older population

  3. When he says “Our people want to return to work” he means “My businesses are losing even more money than usual”.

    1. Chris Parker If Biden would have been President, the death rate would have been higher. A President Biden would not have a wall being built to protect the Southern border and he would not have banned airlines coming in from China, seeing that the moron called Trump racist for doing that. You left wingnuts progressive Trump haters have your own reading comprehension problem. ‘Our people’ is a reference to Americans, you moron.

    2. @joskemom If Biden had been President the US would still have had a pandemic team. None of your ‘what ifs’ can counter that. Fewer people would have died. There will be thousands and that’s firmly down to Trump*.

  4. Please American people ,don’t believe what he says ,stay home,when can ,get rid of both for your sakes

    1. @Jelly Belly Oh Trump hurts your feelings. Got it. We got a snowflake over here!
      Get back in your safe space if you don’t like him and cry us a river. Pansy

    2. @Richard Rosenbaum – I dont think that actually answered the question. English not your first language?

    1. @Tim No, Dr. Fauci’s primary point is to inform and correct misinformation. There is a big difference between correcting and
      undermining the president.

  5. People with no symptoms can infect hundreds, please stay ten feet away from each other to save a life, Thank you.

    1. Do you want the super market people to stay home? How about the gas station guys, the firemen, the police, the truck drivers, the postal workers, and all the people who service the internet? At sometime, we are going to have to do some work.

  6. I’m a nurse 30 yrs and no way can we just risk all of our lives being exposed and exposing others Dr Fucci is correct

    1. Beau Peterson It’s about not overloading our already overloaded healthcare system. Reducing the rate of people getting infected, not just simply the number of people who do.

    2. CadillacJak if this isn’t contained, 2 million people will die. That number is also on the low side of estimations.

    3. Aaron Fahr how are innocent people going to be infected if they stay home? You do realize many of us are still working, anyway.

    1. For sure! That is how he runs the country too. All Debt, and no fiscal responsibility. Now the Republicans are considering rejecting the Stimulus Bill because they think “unemployment benefits” do not incentivize workers to stay working. Can you imagine how twisted that is?

  7. “one of his other tributes to science”, Nancy, you crack me up. May the levelheadedness of you and your party, the wisdom of the scientists and of the common sense of the majority populace prevail. We’re rooting for you. 🇨🇦
