Fauci Warns Anti-Shutdown Rallies to Backfire; Protests Will Hurt Economy, Spread COVID-19

Dr. Anthony Fauci, the 79-year-old expert immunologist who is part of President Donald Trump's coronavirus task force, is arguing against the anti-shutdown rallies and protests that are taking place across the U.S., the Alter Net website reports today (April 20, 2020).

Those rallies feature protesters standing close to each other in defiance of social distancing.

Fauci today warned that by promoting the spread of COVID-19, they are hurting the economy -- not helping it.

He added, "What you do if you jump the gun and go into a situation where you have a big spike, you're going to set yourself back. So, as painful as it is to go by the careful guidelines of gradually phasing into a reopening, it's going to backfire."
