Fauci Says States Seeing Surge in COVID-19 Cases Should Reconsider Some Lockdown Measures

To What Extent Do You Generally Trust Dr. Anthony Fauci's Advice on the COVID-19 Epidemic?
Manojna Maddipatla and Carl O'Donnell of REUTERS wrote:
(Reuters) - The U.S. government's top infectious disease expert, Dr. Anthony Fauci, on Monday said states with high coronavirus case counts should reconsider imposing lockdown restrictions, emphasizing the need to get cases to a low baseline before the fall flu season.
In some states with moderate case counts, experts are seeing "that same insidious increase in percent positive that we had seen and pointed out ... in states like Tennessee, Kentucky, Ohio, Minnesota and others", Fauci said during an interview with the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA).
Fauci said last week that he was seeing signs the surge of COVID-19 cases could be peaking in the South and West while other areas were on the cusp of new outbreaks. Those states should consider pausing or rolling back reopening efforts, though they don't necessarily need to revert to full lockdown, he said.
Arkansas, California, Florida, Montana, Oregon and Texas each reported record spikes in fatalities last week.
Fauci said that it is crucial that the outbreak be contained before autumn, when influenza cases are likely to spike alongside COVID-19 and more people begin to move indoors, increasing the risk of contagion.
Fauci also cautioned that although data suggests that young children do not get seriously ill from COVID-19, they are still capable of getting infected and spreading the virus.
President Donald Trump has made school reopenings for classroom instruction part of his re-election campaign but some teachers have resisted the push, arguing opening schools could put adults at risk of serious illness. [nL1N2F510W]
Fauci added that he remains cautiously optimistic that a vaccine could be available for the virus before year end, but that companies should refrain from issuing statements about ongoing clinical trials until there is enough data to judge whether vaccines are safe an effective.
With Oregon on this list, if it means flattening the curve... again, then we should do what ever it takes to do so.
Sure we're gonna have our share of anti-mask, anti-shutdown people who will feel they are being oppressed because of this. They can disrespect the guidelines if they want to. Here's a reminder of the consequences. There have been people who went to Donald Trump's campaign rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma, most notably, former Presidential Candidate Herman Cain. Cain is no longer with us. Why? Complications of COVID-19.
There have been people who spoke out against wearing masks in Congress, most specifically, Republicans in the House of Representatives. I make reference to Texas Representative Louie Gohmert. He has been diagnosed with COVID-19.
So if you think you're being oppressed by wearing a mask, if you feel you're being inconvienienced by staying six feet from others, then maybe these numbers will make you think about it.

CONFIRMED CASES 4,770,379
RECOVERIES 2,315,109
DEATHS 157,424
Something to think about right?
Just Saying.

Yeah... I don't like lockdowns, and I don't think anybody else does (they're just what you do in the absence of better options). But they're better than doing nothing at all - and, with the recent surges, I think some states really need to consider re-imposing them...
