Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation's top expert on infectious disease, on Wednesday warned that the novel coronavirus could come back in "cycles," and urged the US to be prepared.

The virus "very well might" become cyclical and experienced seasonally, Fauci said at the daily White House briefing on coronavirus. "We really need to be prepared for another cycle," he added.

I have thought this would become seasonal. But like the flu going forward, I would assume there will ultimately be a virus shot like the flu or pneumonia given annually. The issue currently is the fast spread and no plentiful protection available. I do not subscribe to you or others who claim fear mongering. And I certainly do not think the US is overreacting. What does that say to the rest of the world doing the exact same thing? So the world countries are wrong and you're right?

I'm curious, how many months do you people think the country should be on lockdown? Do you have a number of months in mind or is it however long it takes to destroy the U.S. economy?

What in God's name are you talking about? Where the hell does he even REMOTELY hint at shutting the country down for 10 years or even 1 year or ANY specified time period?

Man, you've got it bad for Dr. Fauci. I believe 3 nights ago, on the Nightly Self-Love Tour by Trump, Dr. Birx very elegantly described large waves of this virus coming in 2021 and 2022 before most (around 70-80% of the population) would be infected. So, yeah, the seasonal pitch was discussed days ago but it may have gone over your head.

His point was that he expects the vaccine by then, so we will be prepared.

I thought yesterday's conference was very encouraging - particularly that the rate of growth is slowing down in NY.

With all due respect I disagree...99.5% that come down with the corona virus recover...so yes...chicken little is over reacting!

I am entirely clueless to be honest. I'll never know if these sanctions were not in place how bad the virus would be. As a CPA I can easily see the crippling effect of this, and the long-term ripple effect once we start turning things back on. Many businesses will be forced to close, many people will be seeking new jobs. I defer to medical experts, not Trump or any politician. Regardless, totally surreal and something probably never seen by anyone less than 100 years old. No experience in this other than looking back at past epidemics like the Spanish Flu and seeing how social distancing worked.

Ive came to grips with reality. We cannot hide forever. Also, when does the next new funky exotice bat crapdisease kill us? Faucci is not the final say. Hes alright but hes not 'a national treasure" as some have strangely suggested.
