Fauci says Pence listens to him even though he's 'the skunk at the picnic'

Vice President Pence was praised by Anthony Fauci, the nation's top infectious diseases expert, for his willingness to listen to the latter's dire warnings about the scope of the U.S.'s COVID-19 outbreak in an interview published Monday.

Answering emailed questions from The Washington Post, Fauci told the newspaper that Pence was doing his best to serve in his new role as head of the White House's coronavirus task force, on which Fauci, the nation's top infectious disease expert, is a member.

“I am sometimes referred to as ‘the skunk at the picnic’ but Pence never directly asks me, the skunk, to be quiet or leave,” said Fauci in response to the questions, adding that Pence was "a truly decent person, and very smart, who is trying to do his best in a very difficult and fluid situation."

“Some may say that Pence and his team are ‘too ideological’ but they are after all political people. This is not unexpected," Fauci added, according to the Post.
Fauci's praise for Pence comes amid criticism aimed at the Trump administration, particularly President Trump, over the U.S.'s response to the coronavirus outbreak and the effectiveness of the U.S.'s response so far. The U.S. has reported more total confirmed cases than any country, and ranks fourth behind several South American countries in terms of total deaths per 100,000 citizens.

Coronavirus re-infections raise concerns about immunity

 

Yesterday a man who got infected early on in Jan in Hong Kong and was supposedly cured contracted the virus again traveling in Italy....there was a reinfection case reported in China before that...Chinese believe this virus mutates slowly but does mutate and hides within vital organs ....Mexican scientists linked Coca Cola drinking overweight issues to death from the virus....sugar in general...the virus loves soda pop drinkers apparently or people with high sugar content in their diet

 

Yeah, it's one of those terrible consequences of being locked down. Still, the alternative is worse.

 

Yeah, sure.

 

Shit, I've got a sweet tooth and drink about four or five root beers every week. I also drink a near frozen Starbuck's frappuccino nearly every day. Did I mention that I'm overweight?
However, I finally have some good news about my dietary restriction on drinking coca cola, I'm to have none whatsoever. I've had one coke in the last six years.

 

Not sure if anyone posted 50 people in Texas being treated after drinking bleach. Oi vey.

 

All Trump supporters? That would fit. That's the sort of people who are currently running our country. That ought'a make you sleep better at night.
