'Time to FireFauci': Fauci comments on virus response draw Trump's ire
could have saved lives if they’d been started earlier, and when they’re eased, new cases are certain to arise, said the nation’s top infectious disease expert, Dr. Anthony Fauci, seeming to draw the ire of President Trump.
Rather than flipping a switch to reopen the entire country, Fauci said a gradual process would be required based on the status of the pandemic in various parts of the U.S. and the availability of rapid, widespread testing. Once the number of people who are seriously ill sharply declines, officials can begin to “think about a gradual reentry of some sort of normality, some rolling reentry,” Fauci said.
But governors will have a lot to say about when to ease restrictions in their states, and the leaders of Maryland and New Jersey indicated Sunday that they were not likely to do so until widespread testing was available. Increased testing would allow authorities to identify, isolate and trace the contacts of people who are newly infected, Fauci said.
Speaking about the prospects of Americans physically going to polling places in November, Fauci said he hoped voting in person could take place.
