Really? The fact that you tried to blow off everything I posted with some lame attack of Dr Fauci and then of NPR with out apparently any bother of actually reading anything said exactly what I replied with.
As for your attack of Dr. Fauci, First you apparently don't know where that BS line you are posting comes from. So here it is. Fauci, who has been largely supportive of imposing drastic changes on Americans’ daily lives in the name of halting COVID-19’s spread, responded that the question was “tough” because it involves “relative risk.”
“If you’re willing to take a risk—and you know, everybody has their own tolerance for risks—you could figure out if you want to meet somebody,” he said. “And it depends on the level of the interaction that you want to have. If you’re looking for a friend, sit in a room and put a mask on, and you know, chat a bit. If you want to go a little bit more intimate, well, then that’s your choice regarding a risk.”
“The one thing you don’t want to do is make sure the person is feeling well,” Fauci continued. “Even though there’s a lot of asymptomatic infections, that’s one of the things that’s really troublesome. That if everybody transmitted would only transmit when they’re sick, that would be much easier. But what we’re seeing, which becomes really problematic, is that there’s a considerable amount of transmission from an asymptomatic person. And we’ve got well-documented now, you know, that situation on the nuclear carrier, the Roosevelt, USS Roosevelt, where hundreds of sailors have gotten infected from people that were not sick. That’s tough.” From https://www.independent.org/news/article.asp?id=13148
This is from a writer who first called into questions Dr. Fauci's credentials then called Sen. Rand Paul a medical doctor, Rand Paul's ophthalmology certification is contested. He originally earned board certification in 1993 after the completion of his residency. However, in 1997 he formed his own board, called the National Ophthalmology Board, with 200 other physicians in protest of certification requirement changes by the American Board of Ophthalmologists. The now-defunct board was not recognized by the Kentucky Board of Medical Licensure, so Dr. Paul was not board certified by a board recognized by the state since 2005, and since Dr. Paul's board dissolved in 2011, he has had no certification from an active body, according to the Washington Post.
Selectively clipped!!!!

Coronavirus: Dr Fauci warns meeting people on dating apps is a 'relative risk'
Infectious disease expert says 'everybody has their own tolerance for risks'

Dr Anthony Fauci has told Americans looking to meet up with potential suitors from dating apps amid the coronavirus pandemic that it's fine, as long as they are "willing to take a risk".
The infectious disease doctor, who is currently working as the nation’s coronavirus expert, discussed meeting up with a stranger during a virtual interview on Snapchat’s Good Luck America, where he explained that the choice to get "intimate" or not despite the risks ultimately resides with each individual.
During the interview, host Peter Hamby asked the 79-year-old: “If you’re swiping on a dating app like Tinder or Bumble or Grindr and you match with someone and you’re like: ‘Maybe it’s fine if this one stranger comes over.’ What do you say to that person?”
In response to the question, Dr Fauci said that dating during the pandemic is a “relative risk”- but that everyone has their "own tolerance for risks".
“You know, that’s tough. Because it’s what’s called relative risk. If you really feel that you don’t want to have any part of this virus, will you maintain six feet away, wear a mask, do all the things that we talk about in the guidelines?” Dr Fauci said, adding: “You know, everybody has their own tolerance for risks. And it depends on the level of the interaction that you want to have.
“If you’re looking for friends, sit in a room and put a mask on and, you know, chat a bit. If you want to go a bit more intimate, then that’s your choice regarding a risk.”
According to Dr Fauci, the decision whether or not to meet up with someone from a dating app becomes even trickier when considering that people who are asymptomatic are also spreading the virus.
Explaining that it would be “much easier” if only people who were sick were contagious, Dr Fauci said: “But what we’re seeing, which becomes really problematic, is that there’s a considerable amount of transmission from an asymptomatic person.”
Tinder has "strongly encouraged that new connections stay digital for now," however.
Earlier in the interview, the White House coronavirus task force expert also cautioned against festivals such as Coachella in the future, explaining that it would make him “really nervous”.
“Well, if there’s virus in the community, it makes me really, really nervous. Really nervous because outbreaks and clusters have been the things that have fuelled outbreaks in different cities throughout the world,” he said.
Just make sure the mask is good and snug!!!!
Lol!!!!!!!!!
