My question to him would be then how, exactly, would herd immunity ever occur in a population that has no vaccine for a disease that isn't likely to just disappear? Dr Fauci said this because people only die AFTER suffering the disease. I.E. Not instantly upon contracting the virus. We can expect an increase in death rates in two to three weeks. I don't think Dr Fauci has ever said herd immunity is a given. In fact he has said that it may not develop for COVID-19. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And actually, people die WHILE suffering the disease. Memorial Day weekend didn't cause a sharp spike in deaths. The next couple of weeks will be quite telling. So far, 3 days past the big weekend we still have zero Corona cases in the hospital now going on almost 7 weeks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once again, the intent was to not overwhelm the medical system and protect the most vulnerable. It was never to prevent new cases from occuring. The big difference between Fauci and many other experts is his high profile. Just because he speaks does not make it so. The boss here used to think he walked on water. She met him during her residency at Temple. She now thinks he has gone overboard. M8 Edited July 8, 2020 by Milwaukee Eight 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven’t seen it for Suite amenities. I’ve seen it happen and heard that those that complained about unable or unavailable amenities, they received some FCC. We didn’t complain onboard so don’t know if we would have got one. Do they give out FCC for limiting access to CL/DL ? M8 I'm not entirely sure those claims were ever substantiated to any degree. Seems like just a couple, out of hundreds of suite guests that week got anything. Now people do get FCC's all the time for a 'diminished' experience across all levels. Just depends gow they complain I guess. I do have first hand knowledge on that 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do have to on occasion visit these facilities to do inventory counts, Financial mgmt. training etc.. and yep its not a place I would want to work in all the time. They were testing the wastewater in Brevard County after the Memorial Day weekend and the astronauts launched in June. They said the same thing about high levels of Covid found. Personally, I thought it was a lot of crap😉🤣🤣 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't that 2-3 weeks about now. 🤔 Numbers started spiking in mid June People will probably be disappointed when FL's deaths remain fairly stable.
