Dr. Anthony Fauci, Sen. Rand Paul spar over safety and death rates among children with coronavirus

Dr. Anthony Fauci and Kentucky GOP Sen. Rand Paul squared off Tuesday on whether low rates of coronavirus deaths in children should bolster the case for reopening schools.Fauci pushed back, warning "I think we better be careful that we're not cavalier" when children's lives are at stake.

"Shouldn't we at least be discussing what the mortality of children is?" Paul asked White House coronavirus task force advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci during a Senate hearing on reopening the economy. Paul then noted that the mortality rate of coronavirus patients age 0 to 18 "approaches zero" in New York where 12 children have died, according to the state health department. The notion of not sending students back to school in the fall is "really ridiculous," he said.

"People are hurting and we're destroying our country," Paul told reporters outside the hearing room. "We've got to open up business we got to let people vote, and we're not going to live in a perfect world without infectious disease, we're still going to have it, but we got to open the economy and that's the number one message I have."

Paul then targeted Fauci personally: "As much as I respect you Dr. Fauci, I don't think you're the end-all, I don't think you're the one person that gets to make the decision. We can listen to your advice. But there are people on the other side saying there won't be a surge and we can safely open the economy.""I never made myself out to be the end-all," he said. "I'm a scientist, a physician, and a public health official.

Mr.Trump what are you waiting to fire this socialist agent of the WHO Why dont he says the same thing to LiPing ?

Superspreaders.

Fauci admits he’s an economic illiterate!

Has anyone noticed how most of gop members of congress are willing to let people die to resurrect the economy? I get it, there is risk everywhere. But life is all about mitigation of risk. The congress gets great healthcare, what about the rest of America? He’s betting our lives.

Dr Fauci. Give us a workable solution then. What is the correct answer. YOU HAVE NONE. There is no other solution, it is not practical to stop living you can not stop the world. You got NADA.

As if Rand has any background, (knowledge, training or education) equal to a doctor like Fauci.

Fauci won

Statistically the flu is far more dangerous to kids. Where was Fauci last flu season? Why was he silent when kids were dying from the flu? My goodness this guy is such a fraud.
