GOP lawmakers: Fauci may be doing more harm than good
By J. Edward Moreno - 04/11/20 03:31 PM EDT

Republican Reps. Andy Biggs (Ariz.) and Ken Buck (Colo.) criticized Anthony Fauci, the nation’s leading infectious disease expert, for the impact his social distancing recommendations have made, claiming that the stay-at-home policies informed by these recommendations have forced businesses, workers and corporations into economic turmoil.

“For Fauci, is it merely a societal or economic inconvenience that about 17 million workers are unemployed because of the government’s response to the coronavirus pandemic, with many more to come in the weeks and months ahead? The economic calamity lies largely with the origination of policies resulting from Fauci's recommendations,” the lawmakers wrote in an op-ed in the Washington Examiner published Saturday.

Biggs and Buck, both members of the conservative Freedom Caucus and staunch allies of President Trump, join others on the right in criticizing public health officials on the administration’s coronavirus task force. On Tuesday, Tucker Carlson, a conservative commentator on Fox News, said Fauci “shouldn’t be making economic decisions.”

Absolutely right. This is not a health care problem, it is a logistics problem.
OF COURSE making health care the primary issue is going to be catastrophe.
