Fauci: US Economy Won't Recover Until Coronavirus Controlled

Ken Bredemeier

   WASHINGTON - The top U.S. infectious disease expert on Monday warned
   protesters who are ignoring their governors' stay-at-home orders that
   the country will not recover economically until the ravaging
   coronavirus is under control.

   Street protests against governors have erupted in several state
   capitals in recent days, with demonstrators calling for an easing of
   restrictions that have shut businesses and led to the layoff of 22
   million workers.

   Some protesters have chanted, "Fire Fauci!", targeting Dr. Anthony
   Fauci, who has frequently cautioned President Donald Trump against
   reopening the country's economy too quickly for fear of a resurgence of
   the virus. Trump has pushed to restart the world's largest economy as
   quickly as possible, targeting May 1, and laid out a three-phase plan
   to return the country to a sense of normalcy.
