Robert Redfield, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, is calling on Americans to do their part to contain the coronavirus as flu season comes into view.Kevin Dietsch/Pool/AFP via Getty Images
"We're going to have COVID in the fall, and we're going to have flu in the fall," he told John Whyte, chief medical officer at WebMD."And either one of those by themselves can stress certain hospital systems."
DrPanMD we are in the middle of it now ! :\\ wake up!
Ehh, I have freedom here and I intend to use it. We’re guaranteed freedom...not safety.
This fall I’m ready for the lying public health to take a fall . . .
Someone PLEASE shut up these fearmongering idiots!!! Why in the hell would anyone listen to them for a virus that has a 99% survivability!!!
JimLaddRocks You sit up there in your protected offices telling US how to live. It's getting kind of old since no one(especially minorities) listen to you.
24/7 Fear Porn...
NightShiftMD Because the summer of 175,000 deaths was awesome?
cfoxthesound But the chucklefucks can’t stay home need a beer man need to go to the bar
Because thump did nothing from the beginning. And still is doing nothing along with his repub cohorts.
But what does realDonaldTrump say?
Yeah us sane, rational, science loving people have known this since March but it's SUPER that the Trump CDCgov is figuring this out just now. Can't wait till our government is out of the hands of the saboteurs appointed by Trump
TrumpThreatensAmerica
TrumpKillsUSPS TrumpkillsAmericans is ALREADY LOOKING FOR EXCUSES for his epic failed handling of Covid because hundreds thousands more Americans will die because of his incompetence and FOR 4 MONTHS calling Americans to NOT WEAR MASKS!!!
CDC needs to be drained.
Yea right.. What are they planning this time..!!! These people are sick..!!!
Obrigado pela Informação, !!! 🧐🌹🇯🇵
So you’re saying it’s going to be a bad Flu season?
VoteBidenHarris2020
So, they're saying submit to the propaganda, or they'll double down their assets and shadowy operations to kill millions Wake up folks These people are sick and evil, And deserve to face tribunals so big, they make Nuremberg look like traffic court And this time, no free pass
I thought he resigned last Friday?
He'd lose his mind here in Des Plaines. We just took the kids for a walk at Lake Opeka. It was packed. We were the only people with masks. Adults just traipsed by us and our kids w/out a care of distancing. Utterly infuriating.
So in other words, Biden is right to call for a national mask mandate.
Nobody believes CDC recommendations anymore
Sad that it's not being taken seriously. These political hacks sorely lack the medical astuteness to make just decisions; instead opting to play political games with people's lives. It truly is willful negligence on their part! GovRonDeSantis BrianKempGA
No one believes your bullsh*t anymore, CDC. You've outted yourselves as partisan hacks.
Big health crisis coming.....and who is trying to abolish Obama care......same guy killing the post office....same guy who wreaked the economy
I see everyone wearing a mask. Even if they all don’t, that should be ok as long as they’re not coughing or sneezing. Has everyone forgot the science? It is mostly to stop you from spreading corona. If you see someone not wearing a mask, just walk away. Please stop the hysteria
Hell yeah TalkThatCovidShit
Director Redfield Redfield, knows what he is talking about, but you can bet realDonaldTrump will ignore him and trust himself killing many more Americans.
You mean we're not already facing that?
America - 'hold my beer'
The CDC and the CDC Director (and surgeon general) are the reason we are here, living in this crisis, when we could have been back to normal by now. I wish he would find his inner voice against the admin, but then again, if he did, he would be replaced by dr Phil, Oz, or Atlas
If?
I think that was obvious 2 months ago. We can deal with it.
Americans are “bored” of COVID19 and even those who were careful in the beginning are over it. Second wave will be brutal. History does repeat.
If Doesn't Get Worst Any Longer.
Could Be?
Remember 'we will only shut down for 2 weeks to flatten the curve?' 3 months and counting. These people are nuts!
I'm old enough to remember when this was a thing.
There's something worse?
Let’s see, the NIH said 300k ppl died in 2019 from obesity. No gyms bars or fast food restaurants were closed! That doesn’t include diabetes & heart disease deaths. But science! No wonder no one listens to these guys anymore. AZ R.t is .51 open up.
Hydroxychloroquine works, it turns out.
Sweden has no lock down, Italy had strict lockdown, death rates about equal. But Sweden minimized the devastation to their economy and avoided fear to spread and reduce anxiety and suicide. Wear masks in close quarters if you want and let people pursue ther dreams.
Thanks to Trump’s failure for more than six months. Everyone from Trump to Pompeo is distracting.
Maybe this has something to do with it?
Idea: Give the mask wearers n95 masks. Make sure non mask wearers are Quarantined from living with mask wearers. When choice needs to be made, on which patient to treat, they come last. After all it's their God Given Right!
Here we go with another “sky is falling” pronouncement from public health folks.
This from the same CDC that changed “back to school” guidelines to make the president happy. We are f*cked.
If? Well, it’s already established that they WON’T. So best get prepared.
So if we all don't lock ourselves away until AFTER the election we won't be safe. (Quick, lock up all the mailboxes so people can't mail in ballots.)
Yeah yeah
That’s not what the so called president is saying.
Surprised to see this guy coming out strongly in contrast to his boss's contentions that the numbers are falling rapidly and his administration is on top of things and handling the pandemic better than anyone living or who has ever lived, save Abraham Lincoln, maybe.
That's nice. Unfortunately in Capitalist America, society is sacrificed to keep the rich rich. Schools will open, restaurants and churches will open. America is over.
The only problem with the theory is is that there’s so many people are wearing the mask it is more likely that this will be the least Flu season in American history
If they had a plan to begin with we wouldn’t be in this mess. Oh Wait! There was a plan AND a task force and the Trump Admin tossed it in the trash. The CDCgov did not object, at least publicly, when our pandemic preparedness was denuded.
wear a mask and keep your distance or CDC will ban pumpkin spice
I don't think anyone has really talked about what's going to happen when former COVID patients with lung damage get the flu.
Heaven is the home of righteousness
Yeah, you wouldn't want us to turn into no-lockdown, no-masks, never closed primary schools, Sweden, now with almost no deaths too and life basically back to norm... oh. Yeah my trust in these experts is pretty much shot.
So how accurate will the vaccine be?
Believe that US and other countries where they are not following medical infection control guidelines, will hit badly by fall Covid19 return.
ZERO credibility.
Wouldn’t it be nice if the CDCgov could focus on the freaking science instead of bowing down to political pressure from potus? Smh
Gotta die for the shareholders. The Economic Gods demand blood sacrifices.
Thank God Trump doesn't agree with him!
we are already facing it
n_hold Ya think?
Well you flattened the curve right into flu season. What did you expect to happen. AND if masks are so effective then won't it prevent some flu too? 🤷♀️
Headline sounds like scare-mongering.
😆 OMG, CDC still thinks the sheep will keep paying attention after losing all credibility, and after denouncing Sweden, THEY have herd immunity and we don't... but mask up wait for your innoculation card.✌
I don't know what's worse. 1. Medical terrorism 2. Government terrorism, or (in this case) 3. MEDIA terrorism. NPR sucks
You mean because the flu number will be reported as covid?
dallasleebridge IF? I have 10 words: Sturgis. Labor Day. Halloween. Thanksgiving. Christmas. Chanukah. New Year's Eve.
dallasleebridge IF? I am glad that he issued the caution about Thanksgiving. But we've begun five full months of Occasions That Could Become Rona Parties: Sturgis. Labor Day. Halloween. Thanksgiving. Christmas. Chanukah. New Year's Eve.
DUH. Only took 170K deaths for them to start listening to the epidemiologists.
Redfield's conscience or someone finally got a small amount of courage. The fact it took some time is telling of his guilt and submissiveness to realDonaldTrump CDCgov
those that trust in god to clean up their messes leave someone else carrying their mistakes.
This sort of reminds me of the original Poseidon Adventure after the boat is upside down. Gene Hackman is trying to convince passengers to follow him but they just stand there like sheep. Water flows in and they all drown.
Yet his boss won’t listen, reads a pathetic Campaign speech blaming others at briefings and looks like a ridiculous🤡 struggling to read words he can’t stand that he’s saying, like saying wear a mask, they might be ok, terrible, not great, realDonaldTrump TrumpIsALaughingStock
And here’s me thinking the last 243years were the worst for public health.
jon_from_tenese It’s very simple guidelines! If you can’t follow, you don’t care about the public health and safety of your neighbors.
Selfish and stupid. Toxic combo.
A bit late to the party eh?
Would be great if all our politicians, public employees, and 'essential' personnel would be first to experience the fall!
Says the same man who recommended children go back into the classrooms right now.
Aren’t we already there?
Then something should be done about those people that refuse to comply with simple health precautions. Fines, or something! It's ridiculous...i.e. the Sturgis Rally, Megan church in LA.
OpenAmericaNow
AmericanMOM01 CDCDirector Trump just said today it’s getting better! So why don’t you get with the CDC, the FDA, the Republican Senate and the Oval Office and get your message straight, the public hear nothing but confusion! Just get it straight for once and save Americans
Would have been helpful information to disperse six months ago, but CDCDirector was busy lying for Trump. TrumpPandemicDepression
Let all the conspiracy theory believers get sick. I'm done with them.
Can you hear the CDC privilege in your voice? That’s racist and non-inclusive and non-diverse CDCFragility You need to go to an intensive 3-day workshop where you deconstruct your CDC privilege to understand and apologize for it. Do better
Whistleblower Dr LiMeng Yan: Covid19 is a lab modified virus from a bat ‼️‼️‼️coronavirus discovered by CCP military ‼️‼️‼️
Maybe he should try hcq, and reduce the rates of fatalities to the other countries using it.
I think....someone found the key to his shackles
He’s an idiot
If you don't vote Biden, then you ain't black!
It could be the fall of man.
You and trumpvirus caused this uncontrollable outbreak
CHINESE ARE ROLLING ON THE FLOOR LAUGHING HOW A LITTLE VIRUS DEFEATED ANERICA.........DEMOCTATS DOING THE BIDDING
👍
Oh itll be a fall alright, not just an autumn but a full on freefall.
Enough. We get it. We're wearing masks. Bye
Or you could vote Democrats in and it will Magically Disappear, for some reason not explained well, magic I assume.
anon_sopv2 The director of the CDC said 'blah blah blah blah'. After he caved under pressure from Trump about schools opening and made a political decision instead of a scientific one, he lost ALL credibility. Screw that guy and screw the CDC. Just another govt body that Trump ruined.
Forget all the doctors and the directors of this and that. Use your common sense. Covid is just like the flu. More serious in some ways, but it is a virus. You can't lock-down to escape a virus. It sits and waits for you to open back up. Then it's back. How dumb are you people?
No, they aren’t necessary
TravelMamas
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Where Pence and Beto, Georgia reported the highest deaths in one day 1 week after opening and closing schools.
Umm,, I don't think so.
A clever man solves a problem. A wise man avoids it. Albert Einstein
Most importantly, avoid all meat, poultry, fish, dairy and eggs. And close on factory farms immediately.
Maybe if CDCDirector would had integrity...... we wouldn’t BE IN THIS SITUATION!!!!
America is ignoring history and doomed to repeat it. 1918
Defund NPR.
who ever really believed the virus magically disappeared at 6feet!? new study! 👇🏼
Desperate, wild, partisan flailing as the virus ebbs.
Well, 2020 gotta 2020.
Dr. Rick Bright said the same thing...in May. Trump fired him for not pushing hydroxychloroquine. Redfield didn’t want to anger Trump, so he flattered & enabled the quack POTUS...until now
So we should have been wearing masks long before the deadly fake virus that you don't even know you have. This would mean the entire senior staff at the CDC should be replaced for Gross incompetence
toxicvaccines
Plandemic2020 For those of us Awake, FireDrFauci comment of an upcoming upbreak & FakeDrBillGates will not surprise anyone anymore. Masks = acidic body = more illness accredited to fakevirus this fall. Donottakevaccine = flu is contaminated with the actual corona virus
aravosis Those newly working from home .....plan on at least May 2021 to sort of go back to the office. 1,000 of us in a building in Downtown DC are planning it. They don’t want us in the building.
Everyone is going to die. Take your vaccines!
I didn’t realize the flu exists anymore. Crazy
Americans:
No. No. And no.
Yep
Is there a new vaccine available?
He wants you dead

So please pass S3599..the healthcare workforce resilience act Bolster our workforce..if not now..then when
This is the suppressed message ordered by the current administrator. Imagine what they are really expecting?
Could be avoided if you approved a safe vaccine
