Top doc Fauci admits lives could have been saved if US had shut down in February – but there was ‘pushback’
So he is now following the Democrat's playbook. Something must have happened between him and Trump recently. Trump has probably dug in about opening the country back up (whatever that means) May 1st.
WHITE House coronavirus expert Dr Tony Fauci said Sunday lives could have been saved if US had been shut down earlier.
Speaking on CNN, the immunologist said the US could start to reopen next month, but warned a second wave of the virus could still hit the country.
During the interview, Fauci revealed that the government had been advised to begin social distancing measures in February.
President Trump announced plans to roll out "self-isolating" in mid March.
"We look at it from a pure health standpoint," Fauci said. "We make a recommendation, often the recommendation is taken, sometimes it's not.
"But it is what it is."
