Dr. Fauci Says These Places Across the U.S. Need to Shut Down ASAP

Quote:
Many states across the country have been taking measures to pause or roll back on their reopening plans, but Anthony Fauci, MD, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), says there's one place that should be closed across the country: bars. "We need to really take seriously the issue of wearing masks all the time and not congregating in bars," Fauci said in a new interview with InStyle. "I think we can stop that by just closing [bars] because they are certainly an important mechanism of this spread."

During her candid interview with Fauci for the magazine, CBS Evening News anchor Norah O'Donnell flatly asked the NIAID director: "How can we do better?" Fauci explained that first, we need to "learn the lesson" of what has led to recent surges in COVID-19 that has hit many states across the nation. He then encouraged states to "pause in the opening and maybe even take a step back in our phases." He noted he didn't want to see the country return to "complete lockdown," but he did think bars should be closed.

As medical and public health experts have learned about the spread of COVID-19, there is growing acceptance that the crowded and poorly ventilated indoor environment of a bar is among the riskiest places to contract the virus. Loud music and often inebriated patrons lead to yelling and exhaling more aerosolized droplets as well as decreased inhibitions, which makes bars particularly dangerous.

During a Tuesday morning appearance on Today, Admiral Brett Giroir, the White House's coronavirus testing czar, made a similar point about the danger of bars. "I want everybody to understand you've got to physically distance, wear your mask, avoid bars, close bars in those hot areas, reduce capacity," Giroir said.

Multiple hard-hit states have already taken the measure of closing bars, like California, Louisiana, Texas, and Florida.

In his InStyle interview, Fauci also reminded Americans of the specific things we can all do to abate the outbreak of COVID-19. "Keep distances, wash hands, avoid crowds, wear a mask," he said. "I think if we diligently do those things, we can turn this around." And for more advice from Fauci, check out This Is How Dr. Fauci Says We Can Push the "Reset Button" on Coronavirus.

@coldjoint,
so only the assailant has rights of free speech?
What if the 63 yer old was asking politely and it escalated so the driver ,( who apparently has a serious self control problem,) just decided to reach out and hurt or kill someone with his car??.

Your politics seems to control any sense of empathy you may have .

At the end of the interview Fauci says that it could lead to a shortage of masks for the people who really need them, so he's not talking about bandanas and homemade masks but rather the N95's that were in such short supply. At the time, more people were sheltering in place — it wasn't until things began to open up that members of the public were urged to use masks or face shields.

If you want to blame Trump, sure — he dismissed all the previous work that had gone into preparing for a pandemic:
Quote:
Obama’s White House National Security Council left the Trump administration a detailed document on how to respond to a pandemic. The document, whose existence was publicly revealed by Politico in March, is called the Playbook for Early Response to High-Consequence Emerging Infectious Disease Threats and Biological Incidents.

@hightor,
I recall, when Maryland's governor's wife, of Korean descent, managed to acquire like a few million N 95 masks , and then Trump tried to confiscate em as "Fed property"> That **** lasted about a day when Trump was advised to hunker down and shut up.
One thing about him, Trump is free of all emotion, empathy, care for others , and anything noble.

There are times when I think that the governor of Maryland is the only elected Republican with any balls at all! Maybe Romney, but Hogan has got monsters.

@farmerman,
I bought my box of N95 masks early enough to avoid the huge scramble when everyone was trying to acquire them.

Branco makes pretty good points actually.

Kinda hell for the several hundred thousand CIVILIANS killed by the bombings too.

The A-bombs didn't kill anywhere near that many civilians.

And what do they expect when they hang around a major military target right when it is undergoing a large scale attack?

It was in reference to a branco carioon, which as far as I can tell does not seem to be on this forum anymore, I don't know why. He's never made a valid political point.

Progressives are the racists in modern times.

It's progressives who are saying that black people should be free to rape and murder white people.

TRUMP: "He wants to defund and abolish police." -- interview Wednesday on "America This Week."
THE FACTS: Biden does not join the call of protesters who demanded "defund the police" after George Floyd's killing.

Has Mr. Biden spoken out against all the progressives who are lynching white people for defending themselves?

I bet he hasn't.

@oralloy,
those figures are the usual ones for civilian casualties, those were not major military centers, and where else were Japanese civilians supposed to go in those densely populated islands. That is a dumb post.

@MontereyJack,
That is incorrect. Credible estimates of civilian A-bomb fatalities range from 100,000 to 200,000.

Hiroshima was a huge military center that was the headquarters in charge of repelling our coming invasion of Kyushu. There were tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers in Hiroshima awaiting deployment to the beaches to fight that invasion.

Nagasaki was an industrial center with large weapons factories.

Where should civilians have gone? How about away from the large military target that was about to be destroyed?

Democrats and their allies outvoted republicans in 2016 and 2018, and trump by all accounts is losing even more in 2020.

All the relevant information is searchable on the internet, you can fact check it yourself to find any incorrect facts. But I know you won't. It's not part of your poster style.

Who are you replying to? Did the moderators delete another post?

That said, it is up to people to back up their own claims if someone questions the claims and asks for a cite.

Your failure to point out any flaws in our facts and our logic shows otherwise.
