A Doctor Anthony Fauci Excerpt of His July 2 BBC Interview. Was He Speaking in Code?*
2 min readJul 3, 2020
Dr. Fauci: What we have seen over the last several days is a spike in cases that are well beyond the worst spikes that we’ve seen. That is not good news. We’ve got to get that under control, or we *risk an even greater outbreak* in the United States.
BBC Reporter: Why have you had those spikes, do you think?
Dr. Fauci: When you look at the fact that we never got things down to baseline, where so many countries in Europe and the UK and other countries did, they closed down to the tune of about 97 percent lock down. In the United States, even in the most strict lock down, 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.
* Was He Speaking in Code?
