Dr. Fauci's Stunning Admission: Mandatory quarantines too harsh for Ebola, “justified” for COVID

Dr. Anthony Fauci, the Director of the National Institute of Allergies and Infectious Diseases at the National Institutes of Health, warned against "draconian" requirements for health care workers returning from West Africa, suggesting that mandatory quarantines may go too far.

This was despite the Ebola virus even at the low end of that spectrum is exponentially higher than the current estimated death rates of COVID-19, which according to a recent analysis out of Johns Hopkins, is less than 2% in the United States and around 0.4% worldwide in serious to critical condition, according to the inflated stats of worldometer tracking website!

Nevertheless, in a 2014 interview with NBC News, Dr. Fauci urged state officials to avoid mandatory quarantines for healthcare workers returning to the U.S. after helping with the Ebola crisis in West Africa. "You don’t have to put returning healthcare workers in a confined place," he says, after stating that socially isolating people who aren’t sick could lead to "unintended consequences."
