Fauci: US exiting 'full-blown' pandemic phase of coronavirus crisis
By Chloe Folmar - 02/09/22 09:55 AM EST

The U.S. is exiting the “full-blown” pandemic phase of the years-long COVID-19 crisis that began in 2020, the Biden administration’s chief medical adviser Anthony Fauci told the Financial Times on Tuesday.

Fauci, who is the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said that new developments that limit COVID-19, including vaccinations, medical treatments and prior infection, will alter the pandemic situation significantly in the coming months.

“As we get out of the full-blown pandemic phase of COVID-19,” Fauci said to the Times. “Which we are certainly heading out of, these decisions will increasingly be made on a local level rather than centrally decided or mandated. There will also be more people making their own decisions on how they want to deal with the virus.”

Fauci said that he hopes all COVID-19 restrictions will be halted in the coming months as well, citing mandatory mask-wearing as one of the restrictions he expects to end. He agreed that restrictions might end in 2022.

wasn't it just a couple of weeks ago he said that we're in phase 1 of the 5 phases or some such BS?

Someone forgot to tell the 2,500 Americans dying of Covid daily.

Coronavirus disease deaths are identified using the ICD–10 code U07.1. Deaths are coded to U07.1 when coronavirus disease 2019 or COVID-19 are reported as a cause that contributed to death on the death certificate. These can include laboratory confirmed cases, as well as cases without laboratory confirmation. If the certifier suspects COVID-19 or determines it was likely (e.g., the circumstances were compelling within a reasonable degree of certainty), they can report COVID-19 as “probable” or “presumed” on the death certificate (5, 6). COVID-19 is listed as the underlying cause on the death certificate in 92% of deaths (see Table 1).

That's exactly what he said. We're supposed to forget that. GAWD has spoken.

In 2015, a total of 2,712,630 deaths were reported in the United States.

I did the math and determined the daily death rate in the United States for 2015 was 7432 So what's the big deal?

FAUCI: 'It Is Conceivable' That Mask Wearing Could Become Permanent

[240B]

It is a sign of extreme disconnected arrogance that this corrupt China's little wormy troll still thinks that people care about what he says. A few extremist purple hair communists might still hang on to Fauci's COVID religion, but most Americans view him as a manifestation of Satan.
