to fight coronavirus.

"I think we should really be overly aggressive and get criticized for over-reacting," Fauci said.

Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, told NBC's "Meet the Press" Sunday that Americans "should be prepared that they're going to have to hunker down significantly more than we as a country are doing" to fight the growing COVID-19 outbreak.

Asked if the U.S. should consider a 14-day national shutdown similar to those in Europe, he said, "I would prefer as much as we possibly could ... I think we should really be overly aggressive and get criticized for over-reacting."'>>>

2. unfortunately

A lockdown in a county the size of Texas is easier than ours.

5. by the time the situation is SO BAD, it will be too out of control but realistically

the military and NG will be called out and mostly to control travel and panic at all cost. As the sickness impacts the work force, gotta think how the basics of life can be kept rolling and its grim

3. J. Edgar Fauci.... n/t

4. Even if they announce a nation wide shut down

for 2 or more weeks I doubt that Oklahoma state agencies will ever totally shut down. If we can hunker down in our little area I would prefer to go to our building than stay at home. I could telework if I really had to but would be more productive working in my cubicle and having access to multiple monitors rather then working on a laptop.

6. Republicans won't do it.

They are too stupid to realize that this is in their own best interest.
