Fauci says country won't return to 'normal' until at least late 2021

It's unlikely life will revert back to what it was like before the coronavirus pandemic until at least the middle of 2021, said Dr. Anthony Fauci.
Fauci, the nation's leading expert on infectious diseases and a member of the White House coronavirus task force, said on Friday it's going to take a while for people to enjoy leisure activities, such as going to indoor movie theaters, concerts, or other large gatherings, once again.
"If you’re talking about getting back to a degree of normality which resembles where we were prior to COVID, it’s going to be well into 2021, maybe even towards the end of 2021," Fauci said on MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell Reports.
The United States has reached almost 6.5 million cases of the coronavirus and endured over 190,000 deaths.
Though Fauci said he is confident a vaccine will be developed by the end of 2020 or early 2021, distribution of the vaccine will delay the return to normalcy.
"By the time you mobilize the distribution of the vaccinations, and you get the majority or more of the population vaccinated and protected, that’s likely not going to happen until the mid- or end of 2021," Fauci said.
Heading into flu season, Fauci also expressed his concerns over the reported daily number of coronavirus cases the country is seeing.
The U.S. is seeing about 40,000 new cases per day, and Fauci said he would like to see that number drop to at least 10,000 or below.

Fauci and his vaccine pimping is holding the country hostage.

I’ve about had enough of this grandstanding runt fraud.

But wait, there's more: now he's saying 2022!!! Even if there's a vaccine, we must now wait ANOTHER year after that for normal.
Unacceptable. Donald Trump, FIRE THIS MAN.

Doesn't this jackass understand all the lockdown did was postpone new infections??? Stop the ban on HCL/Zinc and then get the hell out of the way.

Like you said, he's a jackass. IMHO he no longer has any credibility and I could care less what he says.

Well put.

A WV civil rights attorney (conservative) announced on his Facebook page he's suing the governor over the lockdown:
... This time I'm filing in federal court, on behalf of a restaurant who was on the receiving end of our Governor's tyranny, via his local health department secret police. It's been proven that lockdowns and other governmental tyranny doesn't work. Even assuming it was constitutional, it doesn't work. The virus is/was going to take its course. Where the lockdown measures were most tyrannical, the virus spread at the same rate, or even worse. Then there's the unintended consequences and side effects of keeping people locked down, and destroying their small businesses, which is the reason why we weren't supposed to attempt lockdowns in the first place.
Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/JohnBryanLaw/?__tn__=%2Cd%2CP-R&eid=ARBJwvnCQ9A2gEZrEThKdH5yKGakZ-6az40HT65C_LqK-vu3tklPEHxSbBI81F-HVWhWPsQOFBaM2-qY). The lockdown in W.Va. hasn't been anywhere near as bad as in some other states, but it certainly has had negative effects.
The lawyer also has blogged about how lockdowns don't work, here (https://thecivilrightslawyer.com/2020/09/11/lockdowns-dont-work-including-in-west-virginia/):There was a good article from the Mises Institute, The Evidence Keeps Piling up: Lockdowns Don’t Work, by Ryan McMaken. Here in West Virginia, our it seems that it was our Governor’s proudest life achievement so far, that he “shut down†the state, and then got to create an entire new form of government, which he titled, “The Comeback.†At least while mommy and daddy legislature is still in hiding….. As McMaken noted: The toll lockdowns have taken on human life and human rights has been incalculable. Increases in child abuse, suicide, and even heart attacks, all appear to be a feature of mandatory stay-at-home orders issued by politicians who now rule by decree without any legislative or democratic due process. And then, of course, there is the economic toll on employment, which will feed negative impacts into the longer term. The economic burden has fallen the most on the young and on working-class families, whose earners are least able to work from home.
These measures also have made a mockery of basic human rights while essentially expropriating private property. Mom-and-pop business owners were told to shut their doors indefinitely or face arrest. ...
He cites several relevant - and interesting - studies.
I'm guessing he doesn't have much use for people like Fauci who insist that we can't peek out the window until there's a vaccine.

Fauci is a jackass in the sense that he is a partisan operative of the jackass party.

Actually the USA will start a slow return to normal on Nov 4 as the absentee vote is already affirming.

Worse, by sending all those college students home to their parents, it may have accelerated the infection rate, especially among the demographics where it's more dangerous.
