Rep. John Garamendi (D-Calif.) on Friday said the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases was told to “stand down” and not appear on five Sunday morning talk shows to discuss the coronavirus.
Garamendi told MSNBC’s Hallie Jackson that Anthony Fauci was scheduled to do all five major Sunday talk shows, but says Fauci canceled the appearances after Vice President Pence took over the administration’s response to the disease.
“I can repeat what he said, he said, ‘I was not muzzled. However, I was to go on the Sunday talk shows, five of them. The vice president’s office then took over the control of this situation, and told me to stand down, not to do those shows,'” Garamendi said, quoting Fauci.

what's particularly sad/dangerous about that is that Fauci is one of the few people related to this in the administration that actually knows what they're talking about

I wasn't sure exactly what dick-trippery would be involved, but I had a very strong feeling Trump would be directly involved in ensuring his one-term status. It's just deeply unfortunate that it has to be at the expense of public health and quite possibly a number of lives.

NomeDaBarbarian is right that any disruption of working people's wages will drive many of them straight from hand-to-mouth mode to deeply impoverished and at risk of hunger. The big cut in the number of people who can qualify for food stamps that started on Jan. 1 this year won't help, either. Which reminds me, it's about time to write another check to the local food bank network.
But NomeDaBarbarian is wrong to imply that the COVID-19 virus won't kill people. It will.

Not as convenient as buying new plastic bottles but the active ingredient is rubbing alcohol. Dunno why people don't just use that. Counterintuitively, 90% is less effective at killing germs than 70% fwiw
