| Anthony Fauci: Americans Should Be Ready for Possibility of a ‘More Rigid Type of Restriction’ | |
| 2022-04-03 | |
Fauci has used recent media appearances to warn Americans that while trends appear to be going in the right direction, they need to be prepared to bring back coronavirus-era restrictions if public health officials deem it necessary. President Biden’s medical adviser made the same remark during an appearance on BBC’s Sunday Morning program as well, warning that people must be prepared for “a more rigid type of restriction.” However, he said he does not want to use the word “lockdown” as it is too controversial. “I don’t want to use the word ‘lockdown’ as that has a charged element to it, but I believe that we must keep our eye on the pattern of what we’re seeing with infections right now,” Fauci said, adding that “we need to be prepared for the possibility that we would have another variant that would come along and then things change.” “And if we do get a variance that does give us an uptick in cases and hospitalization, we should be prepared and flexible enough to pivot towards going back – at least temporarily – to a more rigid type of restrictions, such as requiring masks indoors,” he said, echoing the sentiments he has offered over the past months. “You can go ahead and continue to tiptoe towards normality, which is what we’re doing, but at the same time, be aware that you may have to reverse,” Fauci said earlier this month. Fauci’s remarks on Sunday Morning come days after Hawaii became the final state in the nation to official lift its indoor mask mandate. He appeared to make another flip flop over the weekend as well, as the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) director told WUSA9 that we have “actually gone beyond the pandemic phase and beyond the deceleration stage” in the pandemic, despite the fact that he said the world was just in the first phase of the pandemic mere months ago, in January 2022. What is more, last week Fauci told ABC News’s George Stephanopoulos we “have a way to go” in the pandemic: | |

| #18 #16 The only way to truly shutdown COVID is to restrict EVERYONE to their homes. No one goes out for any reason. No contact with anyone not in the house. Yes, this will cause many deaths - remember, even doctors, nurses, police officers, firemen, etc. will be confined to their houses. This will be too bad, of course. But the important thing is that people must learn to OBEY! /sarcasm (if you haven't figured it out) Posted by: Rambler in Virginia 2022-04-03 11:10 ...On the other hand, I wonder what the ultimate cost would have been had we actually done that for about three weeks - everybody stays home except for first responders; the Government pays everybody's salary, and the military delivers the food. I suspect at the very least, it would have been cheaper and less painful than what we actually endured, and might have had better results. Mike |

| #17 ^ Yes, I did realize you were being /sarc before I got to the tag, Rambler, but in the past few days I've read of two cruise ships with 100% vaxxed passengers and crew developing COVID cases. So. Lockdonds don't work. The vaxx doesn't work. That won't stop politicians, bureaucrats or COVIDian fanatics from demanding more of both. /no sarc |

| #8 Fauci should receive massive doses of every Covid strain daily until he cures it. Then he can make a vaccine. |
