Question for Dr. Fauci

Can Hurricane Isaias pick up the virus from the stricken state of Florida and precipitate it down on the Carolinas?

The MSM squanders Fauci's time with mostly moronic and superfluous viewer questions all the time, so why not.

and if we give Covid 19 a new name does that mean the 150,000 people Trump murdered can rise from the dead...you know, like this "thing" never happened???

so many "questions" were just wasted words.....Jordan goes into his screaming routine distracting our guys from getting to what Fauci knows as fact and what is just supposition..we cheer when Fauci remains calm and doesn't take their bait but we lose what he says because of the side show...and I'm so tired of this...

how can Fauci know or not know about a hurricane?...I want to know how to stop this virus from killing us this minute...I want to know if a rush-to-market vaccine is safe or not safe...that's the here and now...

what he says about a huge weather system's ability to spread airborne viruses. I'd like to hear whether he feels if high winds will disperse the virus and thus render it ineffective or not.

I live in El Paso and we're two days away from marking the first anniversary of a Trump-provoked domestic terrorist attack...my very good friend lost both parents within two days of one another because of covid..he mourned their passing via ZOOM...the man next door, a retired army colonel, is in his third week breathing through a ventilator because of covid..my grown daughter is in self-quarantine awaiting a clean/positive covid test result...my college age grandson is about to go back to school in Austin after three of his roommates tested positive in June...these are my immediate concerns...the questions regarding a hurricane's ability to transport covid thousands of miles is a question only climatologists can answer...and where the House committee hearings could be revelatory they end up as 30 second soundbites on CNN MSNBC FOX

Thanks Jackie Walorski for drilling into the questions around Chinese espionage into virus research. Clearly she should have been in charge of the whole thing.

these aren't hearings intended to reveal anything substantive...they are GOP shit shows...they grandstand, question the chairman's veracity ..bellow "point of order" and demand more "time"...and then it's over and we've gleaned nothing from the witnesses except maybe we commend them for remaining calm instead of walking over to Jim Jordan and punching him in the face
