Top public health official Tony Fauci talks about the surprises of COVID-19 and the challenges of fighting it. And he admits he's no Brad Pitt.
For years, viruses like the one that causes COVID-19 has been the stuff of Dr. Anthony Fauci's nightmares.
Fauci, once a daily presence during meetings of the White House Coronavirus Task Force, has been seen less frequently in recent weeks as the briefings with President Donald Trump have largely ceased. In an, Fauci said a month earlier he was meeting with Trump four times a week, but since the task force meetings have waned his interactions with the president have “dramatically decreased.”
"There’s no doubt that that’s the world indoor record," he said, chuckling."I’ve never seen anything go that fast."Clinical trial networks established to test HIV drugs and candidate vaccines in people are now being used in the fight against SARS-CoV-2, he said. "If ever there were a disease that has disproportionately in a negative way impacted African Americans, it’s COVID," he said.
Sticking to the science, he said, is the only way to survive a position like his, which he has held since 1984.
