CNBC's Shep Smith asks Dr. Fauci why U.S. can't impose a '111-day lockdown' like the one that worked in Australia

You might remember Shep Smith from Fox News. Well, he’s moved on to CNBC and on Wednesday was interviewing Dr. Fauci and asked him one of the most Shep Smith questions ever:

Why won’t “111-days to flatten the curve” go over in the U.S. now? Even Fauci knew the answer to that, though he seemed reluctant to admit it.

So is it The United States of Australia now?

Sadly we already know that answer.
