    I actually believe him on this. He's called the majority of the bad situations that have happened, and the conditions in which they happened. If he's being optimistic, it's obviously with good reason.

    This is fairly modest levels of "optimistic", in terms of timing. I'd understood general mood as of early December to have been summer, this is another few months on. Vaccine rollout seems likely...

    This is fairly modest levels of "optimistic", in terms of timing. I'd understood general mood as of early December to have been summer, this is another few months on. Vaccine rollout seems likely to be problematic and/or slower than initially anticipated. Fauci''s estimate likely presumes few further wrinkles, so in that sense it's optimistic in the "best scenario" sense.

    I'm not questioning Fauci here, I also respect his judgement. Sharing the information and scaling expectations accordingly.
