Regarding the Fauci’s statement, I was just reading an article on the NIH site on the history of quarantines which included this observation:
“Decisions made by health authorities often seemed focused more on reassuring the public about efforts being made to stop transmission of the virus rather than on actually stopping transmission of the virus .” (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3559034/) This was made in the context of the 1918-1919 flu epidemic and Italy.
In some ways it is a bit of a disappointing read in that we don’t seem to have really learned anything for centuries in some ways.

Remarkable degree of awareness there. I appreciate it.
