no. Fauci and Birx came into the Oval and told Trump we have to shutdown the country.Fauci was never the "Left's guy", he was a guy for both the Left and the Right. Remember he was acting on the behalf of the Trump Administration when he came up with the "15 Days" idea in conjunction with Dr. Birx; Trump's pick for the White House Corona Virus Coordinator.
Further, the 15 Days campaign wasn't a lie but in retrospect shown to be a naive mistake based on inadequate understanding of the virus at that point in time.
Trump was incredulous, but they painted the dire picture of hospitals being over ran.
Once it got to the governors some like Florida did the 30 days and quit, others kept various lockdowns going for a year. or more
So the idea of "overwhelming the hospitals" became "stop the spread" by lockdowns. which is impossible
