He sort of has a point, but I'm not really sure it's what he's trying to convey...we have to get through a first wave to get to a second wave. It's quite conceivable that we only have one wave when this is all said and done.

In an NPR interview yesterday, Fauci said multiple times that people should avoid crowds and wear masks. And if one can't avoid crowds masks are a must. He hasn't spoken to Trump in 2 weeks.
He also said it's not an all or nothing in regards to the opening of the economy. Communities need to be able to effectively test, quarantine and contact trace to prevent another wave. His verbal and communication skills are superb; he was a classics major.
I'm paraphrasing from memory, here is the interview: https://www.npr.org/2020/06/16/878385811/dr-anthony-fauci-doesnt-get-much-sleep

22 states are seeing a decline in daily cases, 10 are stable, but 18 states have an increase of cases
Come on man, 32/50 is....something.

It is such a weird strategy. It is hard to imagine they are dumb enough to believe this. There 3clearly going to be fallout as things get worse and they continue to even avoid common sense easy things like masks.

Also PENCE:
“Some of the increase in cases you're seeing in states is a reflection of a dramatic increase in testing."
RESPONSE from the department of that’s not how that works:
This may seem counter intuitive, but if you are doing enough testing, cases should start to go down because you are finding people early before they spread it. Let’s look at a few state examples:
• New York - testing is clearly up and cases are down.
• Florida - testing is roughly holding steady and yet cases are climbing.
• Oklahoma - cases are going up while testing has actually been going down. Oh-claw-home-ah are you ready to R U M B L E ??!!! Let’s jam 20,000 into an arena this Saturday and see if anything happens.

The strategy makes perfect sense if you know ahead of time that you plan to blame liberals for protesting.It is such a weird strategy. It is hard to imagine they are dumb enough to believe this.

In other news, 24 Fitness just filed for Chapter 11 and is closing down 132 locations. AT&T is closing down 250 retail stores.
We’re not seeing recovery any time soon, not in jobs anyhow. A lot of these retail jobs are gone forever. And the entire retail shopping center industry needs to retool. It’s going to get very ugly...

They might want to reconsider. Sure they take over more of the marketplace, but as buying power goes down that’s a net negative for them. Unless we’re willing to convert to a Basic Income Guarantee system pretty damn quickly, you’re going to have a whole lot of people without excess spending ability.

One could argue that Amazon has the ability to wait this out, capitalizing on the increased failure of in-person retail over the long run.

In Florida, not only are we heading steady in testing (and I think we've done a pretty good job in that regard) we're also increasing in positivity rate.

A church in rural northeastern Oregon is now the epicenter of the state’s largest coronavirus outbreak, as 236 people tested positive for the disease, authorities said Tuesday.
The largest outbreak, which was first made public Monday, is associated with Lighthouse Pentecostal Church in Union County.
The Observer newspaper of La Grande reported that the church held services in April and May even though Oregon COVID-19 restrictions limited gatherings. Also, The Observer reported the facility recently held a wedding and a graduation ceremony, each with more than 100 people

"A Republican sheriff in Arizona who said he would not enforce the state's emergency coronavirus orders has come down with COVID-19. Pinal County Sheriff Mark Lamb announced on Facebook on Wednesday that he had tested positive, likely from attending a campaign event on Saturday."
I want to highlight the last part of this because I work on campaigns, and the Dems are still doing everything virtually, but the GOP is out canvassing and holding in-person events including an upcoming student thing with Trump. The GOP in my legislative district hold bi-weekly Trump worship parties at a local pizza place.
Keep holding these live events, guys.

I like how he thinks he got it from the campaign event. No you probably had it and were spreading it to others at the campaign event.

Florida with another all time high in new cases today at 3,822. The graph is scary. As others have mentioned, positivity rates are also increasing so this isn't about new testing. Of course, our governor, Ron "Trump-lite" Desantis isn't going to miss an opportunity to place the blame on brown people.

Atleast we now know why testing was so non existent when this started even though we had weeks to prepare.

Just got home from a brutal ER shift. Saw 7 new covids myself, partners saw a bunch too.Huge huge jump from 2 weeks ago, when I was seeing zero to one a shift.
didn’t have to intubate any but 3 of mine needed admitted for hypoxia
I come home and see trumps rally remarks about “Kung flu” and slowing testing down to make him look better
just infuriating. Why are healthcare workers risking our lives needlessly more so trump can tell people it’s a hoax? Why are we doing this for these anti mask anti science crusaders? So depressing. Good night y’all
