US Hospitals are Overrun with Patients, yet our Government is Deep in Political Pursuit
Top US infectious disease expert Dr. Antony Fauci reflected on 500,000 Americans dying of Covid-19 and said political divisions contributed to the death toll.
You have to fight the virus “in a unifying way and not have any kind of political ideology divisiveness getting in the way of what we're trying to do. That's not the only thing that really was a problem. But that's … something that I found really to be unfortunately damaging,” he told CNN.
Fauci also described “several low points” for him over the course of the coronavirus pandemic.
“It does intellectually pain me when I see things like pleading for people to do the kinds of things that you know work — the mask wearing, the physical separation,” he said.
He added that it was “painful” for him to see that while hospitals in many regions were overwhelmed with Covid-19 patients, people were still calling the pandemic a hoax and fake news.
I mean, how could you possibly say that when people in your own state, your own city, your own county are dying? To me, that just boggled me and it still does,” he said. “And here we are today looking at 500,000 Americans who have died thus far. I mean, that's the proof of what actually has been going on. You can't deny that.”
