Trump is reading off different numbers of equipment, trying to emulate President Cuomo. Trump says millions. They need billions. Trump is holding on to the podium, but it's off balance. So it's making a tapping sound. Put a coaster down. Amateur hour. #DoctorsOnlyPressConferences

On a briefing Wednesday, Fauci said that it's a real possibility that the coronavirus could become a seasonal issue while stating that the president's 15-day plan simply wouldn't be enough to effectively slow coronavirus down.

"Would this possibly become a seasonal cycle thing? I've always indicated to you that I think it very well might," Fauci stated. "And the reason I say that, what we're starting to see now in the southern hemisphere in southern Africa, in the southern hemisphere countries, we're having cases that are appearing as they go enter their winter season."

Dr. Fauci announced that the #coronavirus is "not in control."
That is the only important fact from today's regularly scheduled Trump disinformation broadcast session.
Naturally, it didn't come from the president.
That's why we need #DoctorsOnlyPressConferences.

"And if in fact, they have a substantial outbreak, it will be inevitable that we need to be prepared that we'll get a cycle around the second time," he added.

We don't want to hear from @realDonaldTrump.

No more BS.
We want #DoctorsOnlyPressConferences so we can get the facts.

Fauci also spoke about potential treatments. "In addition to the randomized control trial of drugs so that we will have a menu of drugs that we have shown to be affected and shown to be safe," he added.

Fauci was noticeably absent from Monday's coronavirus briefing, and his return on Tuesday meant many viewers breathed a collective sigh of relief.

The virus is scary. But what keeps me up at night worrying is Trump's incompetence, impulsivity & malevolence. He has bungled the response with delayed testing, inadequate coordination to get supplies and dangerous messaging—and we have to worry he'll play favorites with states.

Though he's been in the public eye for a number of years, Fauci first achieved viral fame earlier in March when he facepalmed behind the president as he made a "Deep State" remark -- ignoring his own medical advice in the process.
