Dr. Fauci's warning ignored by many fools, leading to bad results.
On May 21st Dr. Anthony Fauci warned, contrary to Trump, that if states opened back up quickly, there would be a rise in the number of Covid-19 cases and thus, deaths.The wise not only listened, but took appropriate precautions about opening up and did so with gradual steps, while keeping a close eye on the resultant data. Perhaps New York under the leadership of their governor is the finest example of this, going from the worst state to the best state for percent transmission of the virus. Good job !!
However, Trump helped turn the re-openings into a political circus.
He misled the governors of lots of states to rush back to re-open.
The results have been devastating. Experts now predict that the total number of deaths in the USA
largely due to recent Covid-19 outbreaks in 21 of those quick to open states will more than double the total of what they were predicting just weeks ago.

Twenty-one states have seen an increase in their average daily new coronavirus cases this week in comparison to the previous week, according to data compiled by The Washington Post. New infections nationwide also surged.
Alabama, Oregon and South Carolina are among the states with the biggest increases. Alabama saw a 92 percent change in its seven-day average, while Oregon’s seven-day average was up 83.8 percent and South Carolina’s was up 60.3 percent. Hospitalizations have risen as well. For example, Arkansas has seen a 120.7 percent increase in hospitalizations, from 92 cases to 203, since Memorial Day.

Washington state health officials warned Saturday that coronavirus transmission is increasing in the eastern part of the state. Benton, Franklin, Spokane and Yakima counties are of greatest concern and could see “increasingly explosive growth” in cases and deaths if the current rate of transmission continues.
Several new studies published this month support wearing masks to curb the transmission of the virus.
Beijing’s biggest meat and vegetable market was shut down after the discovery of a cluster of coronavirus cases, raising the prospect of a second wave of infections.
Brazil’s official coronavirus death toll overtook Britain to become the world’s second-worst hit country.
Russia more than doubled its official death toll related to covid-19 for April, days after the World Health Organization raised questions about its numbers.
