Opinion: Fauci warns of colossal, deadly mistake. Will Trump listen?

CNN  

Editor’s Note: Jill Filipovic is a journalist based in New York and author of the book “The H-Spot: The Feminist Pursuit of Happiness.” Follow her on Twitter. CNN — Dr. Anthony Fauci and the other experts at the top tiers of the American public health system have been clear: Reopening the nation without adhering to the clear guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention would be a colossal, deadly mistake. Opening prematurely, Fauci warned, creates “a real risk you will trigger an outbreak you will not be able to control.” If that happens, he said, “it will almost turn the clock back, rather than going forward.” The White House doesn’t seem particularly committed to moving forward. Fauci’s recommendation that states “go by the guidelines that have been very well thought out and very well delineated” was well-taken, but a bit hard to reconcile with the fact that guidance has not been nearly as specific as it needs to be, and expert opinion has been repeatedly undermined by the Trump administration. The goal, Fauci said, is “having in place the capability of responding when the inevitable return of infections occur.” Thanks to our absolutely negligent federal government, very few places in the United States are currently in a position to respond adequately to the virus’s inevitable return.
