6.6 million unemployed & Dr. Fauci wants to wait until zero deaths

7
657

There were 6.648 million weekly jobless claims filed this week. It represents people who lost their jobs last week. The true numbers are likely much higher.

The country is in a standstill and this cannot continue. Funneling manufactured money into the system can’t substitute for jobs.

In a way, this is a fake depression since much of this can come back quickly.

We cannot wait until there are no new deaths for a period of time to we pull back on the lockdowns we now have in place. If we don’t have an economy and jobs for Americans, there will be suicides and other serious issues.

We need another approach. Dr. Fauci is great in so many ways, but he is an unelected bureaucrat who can’t be the final word. We need people like Dr. Smith who has another approach, more pragmatists, and we need an economist on that task force or at least someone who is pragmatic.

Americans are notorious for living paycheck to paycheck and so it goes with many small businesses.

Some of these jobs will not come back and it will take time to recover. The longer this goes on, the more difficult it will be.

We shouldn’t go until April 30th and certainly not later with this shutdown.

Dr. Fauci would like to wait until there are zero deaths for a period of time and keeps talking about the ultimate, which is the vaccine. That is true, but we need to just have these precautions for the people at high risk, not everyone. He might not mean this full lockdown, that isn’t clear.

What he doesn’t put much hope on is the medicines that can cure people. Those are possibilities.

When they begin to FORCE people to take their FAKE and TAINTED Vaccines, by Laws or by Physical Force – CIVIL WAR BEGINS.

It’s comments like This that are detrimental:

Dr. Anthony Fauci: Antibody testing right now is not the first thing on our priority. It’s something that we need to do is testing to see if someone is infected. It is very important ultimately to be able to get a feel for what the penetrance of the what the infection was in society for a number of reasons. You get a better feel for what the impact had been. But also you get a better feel for what the herd immunity would be.

The problem with it is “not knowing”. We are told of the death rate in comparison to confirmed cases, which is around 2+%. But the rate compared to those “tested” is around .3%. Significant. Those tested had symptoms but not confirmed. That’s a better indicator of the impact on the country, but the good doctor is oblivious to it. But that would indicate how prevalent it is in society.

The left would love to keep the panic going. Pelosi wants up to 4 billion for vote-by-mail so people can vote safely in November because of the virus.

From what Pence was saying on one program it appears like they are using Italy as their reference point, which has been devastating. Are they weighing better safe than sorry to the extreme. From Fauci’s remarks it’s sounding that way. They are comparing one country with around 10% fatality rate to one with around 2% fatality rate. Is THIS what is called good modeling. Shouldn’t we be determining policies based upon OUR numbers and not another country’s. I’m having less and less confidence in those who Trump is relying on, including Pence. He should rely on his own instincts rather than media backed experts.

The doctor has already said so many silly things, such as wild predictions.The US needs real, credible leaders.
