#1 We don't have a coronavirus problem in this country. We have a New York problem.
De Blasio certainly and probably Cuomo as well are criminally negligent.

#2 The most important thing to remember about CV19 pandemic is that it's just starting.

#3 I disagree. Viruses will always be with us and a part of us. Fear, panic and anxiety are the true problem. I see this every day. The brown shirts have willingly embraced the day. Power to confront others or report on them is a power they enjoy. The numbers are so bastardized to be grossly inaccurate.

#5 Viruses will always be with us and a part of us.

Not necessarily. We can become extinct. We will, unless we get our shit together. For now, CV19 is - a gentle remainder - that the best way we have to deal with viral diseases is isolating the infected.

#6 I suppose we will be extinct in any case some day, whether it's now or in 30 million years. I prefer to wait, of course....

#7 - that the best way we have to deal with viral diseases is isolating the infected.

Any transmittable disease. Had they not thrown out that historically tried and tested protocol, hundreds of thousands would be alive today because AIDS/HIV would have been shut down early. They threw away those protocols because of political influence, not science.

#9 We did it with TB and other maladies. One thing we didn't do was quarantine the healthy. And we still shouldn't.

#10 They threw away those protocols because of political influence, not science.

Science is what scientists do. And, by now, most of these disagreeable fellows been driven out. In fact, nowadays most universities perfected the methodologies for spotting these pests in their larval phase (students).

#11 Most politicians are lawyers. They understand well the maxim "Never ask a question you don't already know the answer to (or might have an answer you don't like)." What's going on here is that simple.

And Fauci was a key figure when those decisions were being made.
