    KEY POINTS
    • The U.S. is "facing a whole lot of trouble" as coronavirus cases continue to surge across the country, Dr. Anthony Fauci told CNBC on Monday.
    • The U.S. reported more than 44,600 new cases on Sunday and the seven-day average rose to over 49,200 new cases per day, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University.
    • "That's a bad place to be when you're going into the cooler weather of the fall and the colder weather of the winter," Fauci said in an interview on The News with Shepard Smith.

    Man the people just don’t care anymore as far as I can see. Pretty sad to see.

    if you read about the history of vaccine development, pauses like this are extremely common. What's different this time is the massive public focus on Covid vaccine development and trump having politicized the vaccine story so heavily

    Back in March-April when there was the initial launch of dozens to vaccine trials, the majority of experts were saying the earliest a vaccine would be widely available would be next summer. That seemed right then, and still seems right.

    There will be hitches in the process....always are

    https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cn...covid-19-reinfection-confirmed-in-the-us.html

    A 25-year-old man becomes first in the U.S. to contract coronavirus twice, with second infection 'more severe'

    KEY POINTS
    • It is the first confirmed case of a U.S. patient becoming re-infected with Covid-19, and the fifth known case reported worldwide.
    • The resident of Washoe County, Nevada, who had no known immune disorders or history of significant underlying conditions, required hospital treatment on testing positive for Covid-19 for the second time.
    • He has now recovered, though the case raises further questions about the prospect of developing protective immunity against the coronavirus.

    As I see it, only one thing could have changed the perception of the virus in Trumpland, US of A: Trump had to die. He didn't, so here we are.

    Sorry, Chris. Unfortunately, I suspect it’s going to be a brutal fall and winter.

    Dr. Fauci slammed Trump for running ads pretending to have his endorsement.

    Trump then ridiculed Dr. Fauci for not being able to throw a baseball.

    On the bright side of things, Trump is looking like an idiot more each day!
