Some doctors moving away from ventilators for virus patients
They are running out of ventilators, but a surprising number of patients are dying on ventilators, so doctors are pursuing other options.

Imagine a patient needs a ventilator, but none are available, so they just try to keep him or her comfortable. That patient recovers, while ones on ventilators do not make it.

...and, it was inevitable: Trump retweets post calling for firing of Dr. Anthony Fauci The White House has zero tolerance for competence.

candidate who garnered 1.8% of the vote in an all-primary challenge to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi

Mr. President, what do you call someone who gets less than 2% of the vote? Oh wait:
Thanks Ace!

Right! The loser!

“Fauci was telling people on February 29th that there was nothing to worry about and it posed no threat to the US public at large,” she continued.“

This interview on the Today Show?

Alexander: "So, Dr. Fauci, it’s Saturday morning in America. People are waking up right now with real concerns about this. They want to go to malls and movies, maybe the gym as well. Should we be changing our habits and, if so, how?"

Fauci: "No. Right now, at this moment, there’s no need to change anything that you’re doing on a day by day basis. Right now the risk is still low, but this could change. I’ve said that many times even on this program. You’ve got to watch out because although the risk is low now, you don’t need to change anything you’re doing. When you start to see community spread, this could change and force you to become much more attentive to doing things that would protect you from spread."

Welker: "Dr. Fauci, quickly, how does this all end?"

Fauci: "You know, it ends if you -- it depends on the nature of the outbreak. I mean, this could be a major outbreak. I hope not. Or it could be something that’s reasonably well controlled. At the end of the day, this will ultimately go down. Hopefully we could protect the American public from any serious degree of morbidity or mortality. That’s the reason why we’ve got to do the things that we have in our plan."

Or later that day in a White House press briefing?

The country as a whole, because we get asked that all the time, still remains at low risk. But when we say that, we want to underscore that this is an evolving situation, and in real time we will keep you apprised of what is going on, just the same way as we are doing it today.

We need to prepare for further challenges, and we will have them. You will hear about the additional cases that will be coming on. You should not be surprised by that, but to realize that that is something that is anticipated when you get community spread.

I bet that she didn't do well in school.
