Dr. Anthony Fauci of the National Institute of Heath speaks from his office about the coronavirus.
EL PASO, Texas -- The nation's top expert on infectious diseases believes that El Pasoans are as "vulnerable" as the residents of nursing homes to contracting and spreading the coronavirus, according to Congresswoman Veronica Escobar.
Dr. Anthony Fauci said his assessment is based on the underlying health and socio-economic conditions of the Borderland's population, which is similar to that of other minority communities which have also been disproportionately impacted.
Fauci made his comments Thursday to Escobar during a conference call with the Hispanic Caucus, she said.
Escobar indicated she shared her concerns with Fauci over Texas Gov. Greg Abbott's decision to start reopening portions of the Texas economy on Friday.
The Congresswoman told Fauci she believed the move to reopen businesses was "premature" because virus testing rates in Texas and El Paso are low, while the number of cases and hospitalizations are currently on the rise significantly.
In two days time, the number of virus deaths in El Paso grew by 5 percent to 21 on Thursday evening.
Escobar said Fauci’s recommendation was to significantly increase testing and contact tracing, which the nation's top doctor feels is at the core of being able to contain the virus pandemic.
As a result of that conversation, Escobar tweeted that she would be pushing at the federal level to get El Paso "the resources we need to stay safe."

Trump is going to fuck up and lose the next election for being a tightwad, If he wants to win the next election he better get some money in our pockets right now. If Canada can do it why the hell cant the United States do it. 1200 was chickenfeed, 1200 was not even enough to pay most folks rent, bottom line the United States government is a bunch of sluts and whores, bad ones.
A Wendy’s With No Burgers as Meat Production Is Hit

Another day in America and another Trump opportunity to lie.
Trump held a news conference and went on to lie that he built the “greatest economy in the world” and that “everybody agrees.” Now, Trump is a dumb, narcissistic, corrupt, and dangerous.
But as dumb as he is, he does know how to watch television and parrot what he sees there. And what he has been watching is FOX News and other conservative media outlets as they spin and create propaganda for his criminally incompetent administration. When something sounds good to Trump, he regurgitates it back to reporters, and then in turn FOX News runs with it.
Trump Says U.S. Must Reopen Even If More Americans Get Sick, Die
There you have it lets re-elect him again but wait let him be the King of The USoA forever...
Americans are facing not just a conventional presidential election in 2020 but also, and most important, a referendum on reality and epistemology. Donald Trump is asking us to enter even further into his house of mirrors.
He is asking us to live within a lie, to live within his lie, for four more years. The duty of citizenship in America today is to refuse to live within that lie.
Trump Goes to respirator plant in Phoenix, doesn't wear a mask
Excellent, let Trump go out in public, meet with crowds, shake hands, hug and kiss supporters, grab some pussy. Then if he contracts Covid-19, treat him only with the drugs and chemicals he touted such as injections with bleach and kitchen cleaners, sit him under bright lights or better still, under powerful UV sterilizing lights. America's main problem would then solve itself.
In two days deaths (in El Paso) grew by five percent to 21. That is 1 person out of 840,000+ in the El Paso metro area....can we get a grip here? Deduct the nursing home deaths here in the Valley and the number of fatalities is less than a good car wreck. For that, we have destroyed businesses, families and dreams....whatatradeoff!
"In two days time deaths (in El Paso) grew by five percent to 21." That's one death out of the 840,000+ good people in the El Paso metro area. Look here in the Valley. Take away the nursing homes deaths and there are five people who have died for the virus. And four of them have been identified in the local press as having underlying health conditions. So we have destroyed families, businesses and dreams to protect us from what?
Obviously the paid Trump haters are spreading their venom on this page. This is what politics has devolved into in the age of social media.
Not a Trump hater, but the orange one is a piece of shit. Keep your mask off, pendejo!
Haters and whiners for Biden!
