There goes any hope of returning to normal-ish soon. Fauci says keep current restrictions till late Fall at earliest.

Sir, be advised that on this site, "lockdown" is defined rather loosely and is applicable even when essentially nothing in the US is actually "locked down".

Fauci: "Wash you hands"

LRC Covidiots: "This lockdown is outrageous!!"

CDC: "Maybe skip the superbowl party with 20 people you don't live with"

LRC Covidiots: "Fauci is ruining my life, whhhhhaaaahh"

lmao. This is too true

Jamin I wholeheartedly agree with you and share your hatred with this. Liberal people on let’s run are actually horny for lockdowns and restrictions. Part of it may be because they do not have a social life or are talented enough runners to set Prs

People keep saying, you haven’t been locked down so it’s not that bad, are you serious?

1. You can’t go to any large event

2. You can’t travel out of the country

3. Virtually every road race is cancelled

4. Many places you can’t even go to the gym without a mask on

5. Lots of places are still take out only

6. Mask, mask, mask, we may have to wear these damn things forever and I can’t understand how people like them.

Weddings, funerals, graduations, all cancelled.

I honestly don’t understand how people love living like this. If I was the president I would force everyone to end the restrictions tomorrow, and if businesses forced mask wearing they would be shut down. This is not worth it.

Fauci has said at numerous times no one is sure what will happen. He's not keeping it a secret that we are in uncharted territory. All I know is you losers will continue to whine and not actually do anything about it because you are weak.

I agree. Anyone whose life is now "mostly normal" obvious has no life (as well as no kids in school).

He is incapable of that. He's a career bureaucrat that is going to flex his power as long as he can get away with it.

He promoted the HIV hysteria years ago (yes he is in the same position) that put promoted the fear that you could catch AIDS by contact with infected persons and that anyone could get it. When he know it could only be transmitted by specific activities that the majority of people don't engage in on a daily basis.

The guy is a attention seeking, power hunger bureaucrat.

We don't love living like this. We don't love 400k (and counting) Americans dying from a contagious disease.

Estimates say ~ 25-30% of America has been infected with the virus. Opening up means probably close to 1 million more deaths. You ready for that?

March 2020

Fauci: Get tested.

Fauci: Oops, some of the tests had live virus on them and infected people who were tested. (Look it up, some how the major media outlets missed it)

CDC: Tests aren't being analyzed correctly and producing false positives.

January 2021

Fauci: Get the vaccine, its ok, even though a process that usually takes years, took us less that 8 months. Its OK.

Fauci: Oh, also the vaccine may not work long term.

Fauci: And there is this new strain, that the vaccine might not work on. So keep masking, infact, put 3 masks on, no make that 4, errr...6. Yes, 6 masks will make you safe.

And the irony is that the more the antivaxxers and no-maskers push back, the longer this thing rages, so the longer the restrictions, so the more the antivaxxers and no-maskers whine like babies.

Correct. They don't want lockdowns and restrictions, but yet they complain about the things put in place to prevent lockdowns and restrictions.

I seriously hope the worst for any person that is in favor of these absurd restrictions. I’d be willing to die in a civil war at this point.

You stay classy

No you wouldn’t. But keep talking tough.

Why would we believe "We can go back to normal if we do XYZ" when we've been told lies of that nature for a full year?

March 2020:

"We just need 2 weeks to flatten the curve and build extra hospital beds so our healthcare system isn't overwhelmed. Then we can go back to normal."

April 2020:

"Another 2 weeks ... Another 2 weeks ..."

The term "New Normal" starts getting used by talking heads.

May 2020:

"Ok, we can go back to normal, but by 'back to normal' we really mean 'phased re-opening'. And by the way, you have to start wearing masks even though cases went own the past 2 months sans mask wearing."

June 2020:

"New goal: we can't go back to normal until we get a vaccine, which we could have as early as this Fall."

.

.

.

November 2020:

"Vaccine trial shows 90% effectiveness!" (this news coincidentally drops after Election Night)

"But it's not enough that we have a vaccine, we actually need to administer it to everyone, which should take about 1 year."

December 2020:

"New variant, but don't worry, some pharma spokesperson on MSNBC says the current vaccines will work against variants."

January 2021:

"Well, the vaccines are 'less effective' against the variant, but don't worry, they're still 'effective', kinda."

February 2021:

"Ok, it's official ... one of the vaccines isn't effective against one of the variants ... but we can still beat the variants if enough of us take the vaccines and we do lockdowns in the meantime."

The goals keep getting pushed and pushed and they now want people to start double masking. Its awful what they are doing to all these students and kids that are missing out on life experiences. Honestly if you supported the measures you are a pathetic excuse for a human. It is disgraceful about what is being done to these kids.

Also circa Dec 2020:

"Oh, by the way, when talked about the vaccine in terms of 'immmunization', we don't mean that you can't get the virus or can't pass it on to someone. We just mean you'll get less sick. So getting the vaccine doesn't mean you, pesonally, can go back to normal. This isn't a 'vaccine' in the same sense as a Measles vaccine or something."

"It might be a good idea to permanently make illegal mass gartherings during the Flu seasons." (Yes, this "bright idea" is being tossed around.)

Oh, he will keep talking. Even though he is a 122 pound emaciated dork who runs 10 miles a day and would be unable to even carry any weapon heavier than an empty water pistol.

All these people need is Twitter and their mommy's basement.

This is such a pathetic list.

#1 is privileged bologna

#2 isn’t true

#3 is a cry baby attitude

#4 is a cry baby attitude

#5 is a non-issue

#6 is a cry baby attitude

I don’t even think it’s a truthful list. Maybe share your state and I’ll check your list??

Hell, I’m in a VERY covid safe state and...

- we can go to church

- we can workout inside without masks

- we can eat inside restaurants

- we can travel wherever (my students all traveled for winter break)

- we can hold weddings (going to one next weekend)

- we can hold funerals (went to one a few weeks ago)

- schools are at 50% capacity

The only thing we can’t do is go to large, non essential gatherings (concerts, late night bars, etc). The horror.

You guys whine like we’re still actually locked down (a la March). We’re not. We have some restrictions and rightfully so.

How “conservative” of you ?

Forcing business to do what you want ?

If the deniers hadn't be working full force for the last 10 months... we'd be in a very different place.

Millions of extra cases = trillions and trillions of extra viral replication events = many many more chances for immune escape variants to arise.

The deniers are prolonging this mess the more they pretend if doesn't exist. Ironic! Idiocy begets idiocy.

You don't understand. If a conservative wants to compel a private citizen to do something, that's ok and Actually Libertarian. LOL

Doubtful. The testing is not accurate; the reporting is not accurate. Why not report how many test positive for high cholesterol or high triglycerides everyday? Oh the doom and dispair!! Everyone of these cases will lead to a heart attack and our cath labs and cardio teams being over loaded.
