Reacting to images of crowded school hallways and students without masks, Dr. Anthony Fauci tells DavidMuir: “There should be universal wearing of masks...it is disturbing to me.'

“There should be universal wearing of masks,” he said Monday when asked about reopening schools. “There should be the extent possible social distancing, avoiding crowds. Outdoors [is] always better than indoors and [you should] be in a situation where you continually have the capability of washing your hands and cleaning up with sanitizers.”“When I see sights like that, it is disturbing to me,” Fauci added.

Hannah Watters, a 15-year-old sophomore at North Paulding High School in Dallas, Georgia, captured the image in the school’s hallway. She was suspended within 24 hours after sharing the photo on social media but then had the punishment revoked days later. On Monday, officials announced the school would close for cleaning after nine people tested positive for COVID-19.Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and an advisor to six U.S. presidents, recommends “a comprehensive way to really avoid the things” the viral photo captured, including the lack of masks and social distancing in an enclosed space.

While he conceded that mask-wearing guidance will be decided at the local level, he said the “universal wearing of masks is one of five or six things that are very important in preventing the upsurge in infection and in turning around the infections that we are seeing surge.”

WorldNews DavidMuir I'm not a doctor although I play one on tv. But this back to school in crowded hallways is not a good idea. I would NEVER allow this on my tv show.

DavidMuir Agreed. It’s equally disturbing to witness Trumpanzee-backed criminal cops abuse their power daily by putting the lives of black men and women in jeopardy. It’s disgusting yet appeals to cowardly dumpster troll Republicans.

DavidMuir Unless you are at a baseball game, and after throwing the first pitch you don’t have to wear one. What a fraud

DavidMuir Thank you Dr Fauci.

DavidMuir Wear ya Mask

DavidMuir Don't trust him. Question: knowing that trapping & rebreathing germs is unhealthy, is it true that it can also cause a form of Legionaire's disease.

DavidMuir

DavidMuir It felt a big set up...

DavidMuir He’s done his best to warn us of the dangers, and what to do in avoiding this flu. Most sane people have taken heed, yet the lunatic fringe choose to believe they know better, and won’t follow through. Ignorance isn’t bliss, but death. Listen to science.

DavidMuir Dr death

DavidMuir From the guy who said masks don't work. Fauci is Italian for Fraud.

DavidMuir Why isn’t Fauci also calling for a universal wearing of gloves? Why are they pushing masks so hard?

DavidMuir It really is disturbing to hear this

DavidMuir God bless doctor Anthony Fuaci

DavidMuir he's a master mason, an expert in fillibustering and deflecting..... genius

DavidMuir I'm old enough to remember fauci saying masks were pointless smh

DavidMuir GovMurphy

DavidMuir How many hours have been spent on discussing masks, should schools open, etc., etc? Should have spent that time and money helping parents that need resources for being able to keep their kids home and safe.

FauciLovers DavidMuir teamfauci fauci

DavidMuir

DavidMuir It's disturbing to see protests of thousands of people and a public funeral during a pandemic but that also happens. But you mention that and he goes back to the general term of crowds. This virus is not political.

DavidMuir But how else will republicans remove democrats from the rolls before the election? They intend to use our children to rapidly spread Covid. Gotta make it spread and wipe out the blue cities before November. They already bastardized the Census in their favor.

DavidMuir 🤔

DavidMuir Dr. Fauci has a disturbing tendency to say whatever he thinks the media wants to hear at any particular moment.

DavidMuir Why are people taking medical advice from the government

DavidMuir Coming from the guy who said masks did nothing in March except make you touch your face all day

DavidMuir Prepare for BATTLE against the treasonous Democrat Gov's and Mayors Everything the FDA is trying to ban are the things that WORK! Chlorine Dioxide, Colloidal Silver, H-chloroquine Biden/Pelosi are panicking about losing election in landslide! Join me!🇺🇸

DavidMuir Open schools now.

DavidMuir Thank me

DavidMuir No. Schools shouldn’t be open!!

DavidMuir Facts

Well, parents were concerned also. I am waiting to see how my meeting of bus drivers go. The paper says to wear a mask, but around here that means absolutely nothing. I have to make the decision to work or quite and go back when it is safe. Now, we have no subs

Can’t take him serious because he didn’t wear the mask right at that game

How did hunter Biden pay off his lean if he has no income to pay child support ? Maybe something you could look into.

Paid for by the Gates Foundation

DavidMuir Trust him

Why is he wearing the same masks? Does he wash it everyday? I bet, no.

DavidMuir

DavidMuir There are 5G wire in the mask. They will destroy our brains! And they will steal our personal information to sent to CIA!!

DavidMuir

DavidMuir FauciIsKing FauciSavesLives FauciMatters

DavidMuir

DavidMuir Is he also saying that 2 the mostly Anarchist & criminal protesters wonder how many people lost businesses today in Chicago? How many lives today in Chicago. Hell trying to keep track of that Is a real journalist full time job. Must be why we never hear that information

DavidMuir

DavidMuir We need to buy him a ticket to Lebanon......

DavidMuir Imagine people getting as furious about handwashing as they do about wearing masks. That's how stupid this all is.

DavidMuir I trust Fauci!

DavidMuir A problem with Fauci is when is he right and when is he wrong? Should we believe him now? Will he change his mind again? Is he right now but wrong then? But we believed him then.

DavidMuir GOOD READ! MaskUp 😷

DavidMuir

DavidMuir But he dare call them out!😡👇🏻

DavidMuir People are just stuck on stupid.

DavidMuir Your country is a joke. But I love visiting it I hope you guys get your shit together.

DavidMuir Plz. mask

DavidMuir uh, school hallways are always crowded before school starts, during class change, and after school... why is he shocked?

DavidMuir All while not wearing a mask lol

DavidMuir Dr.Fauci is one real expert in USA

DavidMuir Over 90,000 infections and no social distancing or mask requirements. Wow. It's almost like it may have been a terrible idea to open schools during a pandemic. Please, if it's enough to release rich criminals from jail. It's bad enough for kids and families.

DavidMuir Rules for thee but not for me!🤡

DavidMuir *fauci buys shares in mask company

DavidMuir BUT DOES HE HAVE BIG BRAIN SMART WORDS AND CAN HE DO PERFECT PHONE CALL ?

DavidMuir FAUCI said.... masks don't work

DavidMuir Gosh, if only Mr. Trump knew that masks could curb the contagion and bring American life back to normal!

DavidMuir

DavidMuir Dr Fauci waiting for America to finally listen to him like...

Unbelievable.

I’m sick of Dr. FRAUD!!

I think of that annoying Frozen song when I hear and see Fauci. Let it go, let it go

The proof is in the results of what happened next:

How about weighing in on how to boost your immune system to prevent the virus?

Dr. Fauci whatever you do but stop talking about Moderna because you have stake in the company. There are many companies are in research for vaccine. Why can't he say once the positive about other researcher's. I like him somewhat but he needs to shut his mouth for Moderna.

What about the looters

Yet he won’t address protest

What a funny little meme

DavidMuir Quick calculation of how much 'life' has been given up in order to save 'lives'. 331,002,651 (US population) x 5/12 year (Mar to Aug) = 137,917,771 years ÷ 78.5 year (avg lifespan) = 1,756,914 lifetimes of life given up (and counting).

DavidMuir It is disturbing. Don't understand how people can't just wear a mask.

DavidMuir Nah. Stop. Don't listen to Fauci. He got us where we are.... Totally confused. Please stop talking to him.

DavidMuir Ffs....just 4 months ago this bureaucratic weasel was saying masks didn't work, that they should be saved for medical workers/first responders only.

DavidMuir Must admit Dr. Fauci is starting to disturb me. His fame got to his head. DR. FAUCI WAS AS WRONG ABOUT COVID AS ANY LAY PERSON OUT THERE. Dr. Fauci, Look at the map and tell me HOW THE HELL YOU WANT TO RULE ALL THE STATES THE SAME? This is the United STATES of America, not CCP

DavidMuir First Fauci says masks are not needed. Then, backs off! Who would trust Fauci at this point?

DavidMuir Except at riots and protests! He is Good with those

DavidMuir 'I totally agree with Dr. Redfield that as we get into the winter and fall with the likelihood that we'd have a convergence of two respiratory diseases, we can have a very difficult time,' Dr. Fauci tells DavidMuir—but adds, 'We can turn that around.”

DavidMuir Dr Fauci it is disturbing to everyone with a brain. Our country is having a crisis over the pandemic but an even bigger one over severe ignorance.

DavidMuir Is this the same Fauci who wouldn’t take a clear, definitive stance on whether BLM protests should be allowed?

DavidMuir Continues to play everyone.. NO MASK does not bother me!

DavidMuir It really is disturbing

DavidMuir I think it is not realistic to expect school students to wear masks for hours and hours.
