Dr. Anthony Fauci is exhausted.
The director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases is in high demand these days, not only for his vast knowledge of immunology but also because he’s become the face of the American response to the pandemic.
Fauci’s weighed in on all sorts of plans and proposals from the NBA’s reopening to the continuation of travel restrictions on visitors from the U.K.
But at the beginning of June, Fauci said he hadn’t spoken to President Donald Trump in two weeks.
Now, states are facing surges in hospitalizations and in new cases as they reopen. And people are also beginning to worry about a second wave of coronavirus coming in the fall or winter.
How does Dr. Fauci think the country’s response is going? And what are the CDC’s latest recommendations to stay safe?
