There were more than 52,000 new cases reported for Monday, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University, down from 64,938 a day earlier and 89,727 a week earlier. The latest number was published early Tuesday Eastern time and may be updated later in the morning. Too bad the US couldn't get rid of Trump 6 months ago. No telling how many lives that may have saved. === The best time would have been 12 months ago when he was still denying that Covid presented any risk at all. Of course his real risk was to his incumbency which he was acutely aware of. Wasn't that the same time Fauci was saying that the US had nothing to worry about? === Do you have a cite for that? I don't remember it. "On Jan. 21 - the day the first COVID-19 case in the U.S. was confirmed - Fauci appeared on conservative Newsmax TV. ?Bottom line, we don?t have to worry about this one, right?? asked Greg Kelly, the host. Fauci said, ?Obviously, you need to take it seriously and do the kind of things the (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) and the Department of Homeland Security is doing. But this is not a major threat to the people of the United States and this is not something that the citizens of the United States right now should be worried about.? === Parsing his words, it seems like there's a bit of governmental double speak going on. And of course it was still early in the epidemic before people started dropping like flies in the north east. He still thought more of the politically correct thing to say than anything scientific but that is not surprising, he is a political patronage worker. He serves at the pleasure of the HHS secretary. He is not a civil service employee. And you don't respect civil service workers, either, right? Oh, let's not forget that info on COVID and the vaccines is a moving target. An actual scientist takes into account information at hand and then adjusts it if the info at hand changes. Obviously, our knowledge of COVID and Fauci's knowledge of it has evolved with time.He presents like everything is a fact and not that they still don'tknow the truth. That is not science, it is entertainment. You might aswatch Dr Oz.
Fauci is just guessing. He's as reliable as CNN. My guess is
containing this flu will be as likrely as containing the
thousands of other flu varients floating around. Effective
treatment seems to me to be the best hope of survival.
The good news from Biden is he thinks we might be able to stop
wearing masks in a year or two.

Rumor is that Dr. Oz will guest host on Jeopardy.
