Fauci: Coronavirus ‘Allowed’ to Perpetuate in U.S. Because Only ‘50 Percent of the Country Locked Down’

EXCERPT:

FAUCI: "When you look at the fact that we never got things down to baseline where so many countries in Europe, in the U.K. and other countries did, they closed down to the tune of about 97 percent lockdown. In the United States, even in the most strict lockdown, only about 50 percent of the country locked down. That allowed the perpetuation of the outbreak that we never did get under very good control. And now, all you have to do is take a look at the news at night and you see people congregating at bars without masks, congregating in different types of groups that are well beyond the recommended number of people. What happens when you do that, and you don’t wear a mask, you get the kind of outbreaks we’re seeing.”
