Also directly from the article
If that testing shows the virus has slipped into the country in places federal officials don't know about, "we've got a problem," Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, told USA TODAY's Editorial Board Monday.
And? He was saying the threat of that was minuscule. I think he has been marvelous through all of this and the voice of reason people should be listening to. People though are speculating that trump wasn't listening to him a few months ago. He very well could have been.

He said the danger was minuscule. Which could mean the danger to an individual, since he was talking about people wearing masks and touching things made in China. Kind of hard to know his intent.

If I was a betting man, I would put about a 95% chance on Biden winning the election this fall. Unless he gets Cuomo'ed.

Hah, not really. The signs are just patently obvious at this point. Trump's numbers are already in the tank and are only going to get worse over the next six months, IMO. I don't think this pandemic is "his fault" by any stretch, but he has been looking like an ass throughout.

I would be fine with Biden but his VP pick makes me nervous.

If his VP is someone who can at least sputter out a coherant sentence, I don't know what there is to be nervous about.

Besides, "Med Student Harvard '14" hardly sounds like a Trumper.

It can be. Some people believe trump has no blame in this though. His rhetoric both in the past and present has also led to more and more lack of faith in his ability to lead.

And another thing on a similar topic. We saw this in the Charlotte area recently. They've been trying to build for a while a new hospital here, but the supposed "free market" is restricted by outdated models and red tape.

Someone must be worried with all the praise Gov. Cuomo is getting because the anti-Cuomo memes are flooding my fb feed today.

Here are a few that showed up after you asked. There were others talking about how he could have bought thousands of vents in 2015 but refused, how NY has the worst economy in the country, etc. but I can't recall who posted them and can't find then at the moment.

I think this started because some op ed pieces have come out stating the Dems should dump Biden and have Cuomo run.

Real question for the slow kid in the room. What has the governor of a state with 60,000 confirmed cases done to become Presidential in a week's time?
