In a @McClatchy exclusive, Fauci says he is prepared to oppose any effort by the Trump administration to announce a vaccine breakthrough by November if the science isn't there. “Take that to the bank.” mcclatchydc.com/news/coronavir…
Are concerns with a second coronavirus wave overblown? "No," Fauci said. “If you look at the curve of cases in the United States, and look at the total country, that is not a sharp decline by any means.” mcclatchydc.com/news/coronavir…
Fauci warned that Americans have to face "reality" that cases are spiking – due in part to restlessness, and in part to leadership. In some states, he said, "local authorities are not officially going along with the strict guidelines." mcclatchydc.com/news/coronavir…
Operation Warp Speed, a federal program hoping to achieve a COVID vaccine by the end of the year, will not cut corners, Fauci said. "I really don’t like the word Warp Speed, because what it does is it implies carelessness in stepping over important steps."

Fauci believes he has identified a model for in-person voting in November: restaurant takeout. "They have a red line every six feet, and they strongly encourage you wear a mask," he said. "That’s exactly what you could do with voting." mcclatchydc.com/news/coronavir…
Trump claims the coronavirus is "dying out," and that an increase in cases is simply a result of increased testing. "There are two dead giveaways that it’s more than just an increase in testing," Fauci said: positivity and hospitalization rates. mcclatchydc.com/news/coronavir…
