Fauci predicts Americans will likely need to stay home for at least several more weeks

WASHINGTON — Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said Friday that Americans will most likely have to continue staying at home and practicing social distancing for “at least several weeks" amid the coronavirus outbreak.

“If you look at the trajectory of the curves of outbreaks and other areas, at least going to be several weeks,” Fauci said in an interview with Savannah Guthrie on the “TODAY” show.

“I cannot see that all of a sudden, next week or two weeks from now it's going to be over. I don't think there's a chance of that. I think it's going to be several weeks.”

When speaking about whether it’s time for President Donald Trump to use the Defense Production Act to produce critical supplies, Fauci suggested that the U.S. should be doing everything in its power to slow the outbreak.

1. In these stay home orders can you still go to the grocery store? n/t

2. Yes, and the pharmacy (and I assume doc appts.)

5. Yes I live I SF and you can go to the grocery store but they are limiting the amount of

People going in. So it is never crowded. I went to a store yesterday and we were limited to only 2 items of each thing. You can buy two packs of cheese, two packs of spaghetti, 2 bottles of the same wine etc. There was a guy ahead of me in line who tried to buy up all the frozen corn. The guy had at least 40 packages, the manager came over and told him he was only allowed to buy two packages. He said he had a business but they said no that it ensures everyone had a chance to buy corn. I really liked how they stood up to this guy. Later I went to the business Costco and they had these huge packages of frozen corn and thought of that guy.

3. Didn't you hear? Fauci has no credibility because something something something

4. Everytime I hear the Trump admin spout this BS talking point

about 15 days, I realize that's complete propaganda.

6. The theory is

anything is bearable provided it has a time limit. By setting an artificially low one, then moving the goalposts, you can get away with that for quite some time.

9. 15 seems to be a big number for them

15 cases....15 days....what else?

8. Sigh, he's still keeping from giving worst and best case numbers or even broader than that.
