So many of our European allies are: safely re-opened and enjoying a somewhat normal summer.

[Razoo]

Dr. Fauci was given another chance to testify before the Democratic House of Representatives recently -- just a few months after Trump blocked him from addressing the chamber after insisting it’s full of “Trump haters.”

In his remarks, Dr. Fauci tried to explain that America’s surging caseload was because of the country’s failure to shut down completely -- contrasting the U.S. with European countries that had committed to a total lockdown and are now seeing reduced cases as a result.

But Trump issued a statement saying Dr. Fauci was “wrong!” -- and that increased caseloads were due to increased testing. Of course, every leading medical expert agrees that testing does not “create cases,” as Trump claims.

At this point, even members of Trump’s own administration are admitting testing efforts have fallen behind. Dr. Fauci is clearly trying to get us all to the point where so many of our European allies are: safely re-opened and enjoying a somewhat normal summer. But Trump is committed to smearing his top doctor every chance he gets

With confirmed coronavirus cases in the US hitting 5 million Sunday, by far the highest of any country, the failure of the most powerful nation in the world to contain the scourge has been met with astonishment and alarm in Europe.

Perhaps nowhere outside the US is America’s bungled virus response viewed with more consternation than in Italy, which was ground zero of Europe’s epidemic. Italians were unprepared when the outbreak exploded in February, and the country still has one of the world’s highest official death tolls at 35,000.

But after a strict nationwide, 10-week lockdown, vigilant tracing of new clusters and general acceptance of mask mandates and social distancing, Italy has become a model of virus containment.

“Don’t they care about their health?” a mask-clad Patrizia Antonini asked about people in the United States as she walked with friends along the banks of Lake Bracciano, north of Rome.

How Masks Help
Masks Are the Key to Stopping the Rise


COVID-19 can be transmitted via respiratory droplets, which may become airborne when an infected person coughs, sneezes or even breathes within a few feet of someone else. The virus can also settle onto surfaces, where it may survive long enough for other people to pick it up and transfer to vulnerable areas like the nose, mouth and the outer surface of the eyes (conjunctiva). So masks, by slowing the rate of droplets leaving the mouth and nose, can help reduce the viral load in the air and therefore reduce the number of virus particles on surfaces, but only if everyone does their part.

Masks Are the Key to Stopping the Rise

Choosing the Right Mask

The materials a mask is made from and the tightness of the fit on the face are both important factors; getting either wrong will significantly reduce the mask’s effectiveness. The most current research suggests a combination of fabrics. The best seems to be making the mask from one layer of cotton along with two layers of polyester/spandex chiffon as the different types of layers are more effective than using one single fabric.

This is because different types of fabrics work in different ways to block virus particles: Cotton creates a physical barrier, while chiffon creates an electrostatic barrier. The combination of both offers a better chance of trapping more particles and therefore protecting everyone around us.

because europe didnt have thousands of protests and as a different culture

opening businesses to support people livelihoods is what DOENST bring up the number

what does is holding massive parties, not wearing masks, not social distancing, and cramming thousands into spaces for protests and riots

There's this theory about the kind of European who immigrated to America. It was all the crazy people. The boring, sane people stayed in Europe.

I spent 7 years in Germany and I will say Europeans are generally don't act as entitled as Americans do.

Only the right wing is still alleging the pandemic is a hoax.

They need to take our precautions. … They need a real lockdown.” Much of the incredulity in Europe stems from the fact that America had the benefit of time, European experience and medical know-how to treat the virus that the continent itself didn’t have when the first COVID-19 patients started filling intensive care units.

Yet, more than four months into a sustained outbreak, the U.S. reached the 5 million mark, according to the running count kept by Johns Hopkins University. Health officials believe the actual number is perhaps 10 times higher, or closer to 50 million, given testing limitations

So you missed the testimony of Fauci where he said to the committee he was "very much" a part of the discussions on the handling of the Covid 19 pandemic. He also said he "agreed" with the decisions regarding the actions taken.

i agree

Might be because we have had the strongest nation in the world for a good while and we saved the Europeans rears in WWI and WWII, along with most of the planet.

look, europe suffered and countries that have done well such as Germany has had to dealth with 45 years of communsim and a divided nation

they learned how to not be ignorant during all their struggles, same with Vietnam
