As a bit of meta-commentary, the fact that anyone is even arguing with the points you're making is deeply disappointing to me. It seems like there's an entire generation of folks out there who can no longer tell the difference bet

Oh sure, look at you, showing up with a reasonable interpretation. Here we had a near-perfect right wing clickbait article, attacking college students, the California left, mask wearers, and cyclists. And you had to come in and ruin it..

Nowhere in that quote does Fauci say "no one can get sick again". He's literally talking about flattening the curve and the reason for doing so. Either your reading comprehension is lacking or you need to try harder.
