Dr. Anthony Fauci and other top health officials will testify before Congress Tuesday on the state of the coronavirus pandemic, two days after Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar warned that the "window is closing" for the United States to get the situation under control.

Fauci, the top infectious disease expert at the National Institutes of Health, has repeatedly urged states to follow federal guidelines for reopening, including in his last appearance before the Senate health committee when he warned in May that failure to do so would led to "some suffering and death" that could be avoided.
Today, half the country is struggling to manage rising COVID-19 cases.
A number of states paused their reopening plans last week as the U.S. set records for the number of new cases in one day. Texas closed bars and limited restaurant capacity, while Florida banned drinking at bars.
Experts say states that don’t manage their case counts risk overwhelming the health care system again and infecting neighboring states that have already flattened the curve.

THE CIA DOCTOR WHAT A JOKE. THE VIRUS IS FAKE CHILDREN. %100 GO HAVE FUN!!! THIS IS A PLAY!!! ACTING Bull…
Feel bad for the scientists. However great a scientist you are, your fate such as funding, positions, awards and career is held in the hands of BS politicians. Even your expertise and voice are subjected to evaluation of all these BS politicians most of whom don’t know a damn thing about science…
God is the I Am, the God of the bible from cover to cover, and the One who sent Jesus. God is against sin. If one continues in sin, God will make his/her life worse. God will bring America to Her knees for Her sins.
@Mauricio Beltre He is against sin. From my experience and the experience of others that I have talked to, He responds back when one blatantly continues in sin.
@Gods Auxiliary So is He responding now to Trump’s chronic lying?
What about the other nations of the world? They had/have the coronavirus too.
God is against sin. That is why we had 9/11, Katrina, recessions, housing market crashes, more hurricanes, wild fires, and now COVID-19. It must be the God of Love! Please send more disasters God of Love! God bless America!
It’s your God blessing America!
Why don’t we take cancer this seriously
Great question!

Fauci’s response to the shmuck sen. Paul was short, simple and precise, with class.
Mauricio Beltre you can not be serious.. the guy is a fool and in the words of dr Fauci “ this presidency will face a pandemic” … he is a fortune teller as well
Don’t scare people old man 👴
LIES, LIES, AND MORE LIES…
Rep Paul Ran lost his ability to discern how to align pertinent data points to which are necessary to draw a conclusion like that. I mean, lets forget scientists, and simply ask your intern: how many kids drive to the store, go to a bar, or hit up a festival. My gut tells me, there will be 0 cases (globally) of kids doing such activities. Senator Paul will continue to go down as the same old fool Trump tooled in the 2015 debates.
Some watching this have sat through 3 plus hours, listening to people talk about a virus they don’t even believe in.

*Don’t trust any of these people. They sold us out a long time ago. …Amonsgt many many other plans they have for all of us ONE is to infect us all with Covid-19, the Engineered (man-made) Virus to the people that don’t have it with the Vaccine with Covid in it. They arlready talking about ”The Next pandemic” at **7:13** , they have all been playing us all for a long time. And thought everything through to depopulate us. The Democrats are producing Distasters, one after the other, to distract us, but the truth is even worse. Bil Gates whom is Anthony Faucis close freinds. Bill Gates created Wuhan University in China many years ago it’s a fact. Wuhan. The same city in China where ”5G” was 1st introduced. All facts look it up. Anthony Fauci has a ”Patent” on the Corona-virus. We have all been played. The News is Corrupt. Never report on anything positive not 1 thing unless it’s to distract you ”to think everything is Ok” for a second only to dash your hopes, make EVERYTHING seem 1,000 times worse than it is so people get Confused. They do this because they know if they can control our emotions, then they can Control what we do. Spread the truth, do your research we must spread our own Truth-virus in order to take over while there is still time. Get on Twitter, follow the Rabbit Hole. Bill Gates pays someone to delete EVERY negative thing on his Twitter. Search **#deepstate** **#deepstatecabal** **#deepstateexposed** **#obamagate** **#lockherup** **#frazzledrip** **#pizzagate** **#pedogate*
I CANNOT even make myself listen to this, Dr. Death probably is looking
at new ways to scare some into killing themselves, don’t fall for it, do
you want him to get more rental properties? Trust God, not these
people!
sorry marie I trust him a lot more than I trust a youtube comment. He is giving adequate warning. I am sure their is scripture that says you need to listen to reason
Yes, masks and gloves (everywhere). Especially at Health Centers, Hospitals, Schools, Universities, and all public areas with a lot of people, without age limit. Bravo to Dr. Fauci & his Scientific Team.
No science supports masks.
THAT Was a Nice Polite Snub Fauci did to rand Paul ! about, ” Not sure I have any time left !” to A lot of the Below, Rand Paul had Facts….. Dr,Fauci didn’t really answer to those facts from 22 countries, and……. As He Mr. Fauci said, Basically He never told Sports, ect. Shut Down. well, My response to that is, ” You saw How they took your ” pestemistic estrappulations, and ran with them…..” and you’ve got to be kidding me!! How it gets into the Household ? you don’t even know how it came from China ? or who Patient Zero is !!! Because the CCP will not Cooperate !
anybody else notice Fauci is NOT wearing a mask??? how can you preach what you don’t practice?
Someone needs to ask the so called scientist if a double blind test (study) has been performed to determine if the masks really work and the scientific percentages. Might be interesting to know the actual science instead of trusting the assumptions of Fauci again and again, which have been proven wrong again and again.
American economy not totally dead yet…..must have more of the doctor’s “cure” to finish it off.
