Fauci: US seeing 'disturbing' new surge of infections
By Nathaniel Weixel - 06/23/20 12:22 PM EDT

Anthony Fauci, the administration's top infectious disease doctor, told a House panel on Tuesday that the country's response to the COVID-19 pandemic has been a "mixed bag," adding that a new increase in cases is "disturbing."

"In some respects, we've done very well," Fauci said during an Energy and Commerce Committee hearing, specifically praising the way New York has been containing the worst outbreak in the country to date.

"However, in other areas of the country, we are now seeing a disturbing surge of infections that looks like it's a combination, but one of the things is an increase in community spread. And that's something I'm really quite concerned about," Fauci said.


There are now about 30,000 new cases per day in the United States. The number of new cases had leveled off at about 20,000, and stayed there for weeks before rising this past weekend.

Are these disturbing surges of asymptomatic people, are they infectious or just carrying antibodies after their bodies have overcome the virus?

Well gee, maybe they should.... you know.... outlaw/ban riots and loot-fests, then.   It's hard to social distance and take precautions when your arms are full of "free $hit" from retail stores and you're running en masse along with the mob.

The national media deceptively won’t say.

Interesting, no?

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Probably not... just evil.  Never trust a schmuck that smiles that much while discussing something that has killed thousands of humans.

Well, he just can't help himself, apparently.  He can't stop looking so "pleased".

It reminds me of the smile Chuck Schumer had when he announced the collapse of the economy (Banking crisis, etc) near the end of the W years.

Exactly.   That sneaky, evil smile.... that means they know something really bad is about to happen to their opposition (the American non-leftist public).

Something which will hurt America and Americans but make them seem more important.

Reminds me of a story I read once.
About a prayer group who claimed millions of members who prayed for rapid demise of their enemies.
Of course, they had to let them know they were praying 'for' them...

Reminds me of how Pelosi claims to pray 'for' Trump.   She never mentions to whom she prays, however.  I already have a good idea.

Apparently Fauci didn't get the memo that he's lost credibility.

Why should he care as long as the mic is hot and they are rolling tape? He's the expert, don'tcha know?
