“All the stars have formed very unfavorably in the fall-winter period, and people are concentrating indoors and at home. We probably couldn’t be worse,” Fauci said according to The Washington Post.

According to the expert, the White House Task Force on Coronavirus COVID-19 has met less frequently and its influence has waned as the US administration focuses on the country’s economic recovery.

“Currently, the importance of the health aspect of the task force has greatly diminished,” Fauci said.

Commenting on the US electoral campaign, the specialist said that the headquarters of Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden has a responsible view of public health issues.

Meanwhile, according to Fauci, the “approach is different” from the Republican president of the United States, Donald Trump: his priority is “the economy of the country and its renewal.”

The Washington Post notes that Fauci’s remarks were made at a time when COVID-19 deaths in the United States exceeded 230,000. cases.

At the same time on Friday, a record of more than 98 thousand cases of contagion per day was registered. Mortality on Wednesday and Thursday exceeded 1,000. cases.

For his part, Trump said in early October that people were “tired” of constantly talking about the coronavirus.

“People are tired of COVID-19. They say, ‘Do what you want, leave us alone.’ People are tired of listening to Fauci and all these idiots,” Politico said, according to Trump. Exactly what Trump called the epithet has not been explained.

The US leader called Fauci a “disaster” but said the problems would be even greater if the latter was fired.
