Anthony Fauci, the man in charge of managing the pandemic in the United States, has been interviewed by the newspaper ‘The country’ and between other things, has launched a major advisory on face masks. In fact, today Donald Trump has appeared for the first time with a mask on a visit to a military medical center.
Fauci is the visible face of the coronavirus in the US. Subject to criticism, both from citizens and the president himself, Fauci manages the chaos and epidemic riot as he can. The North American giant adds more than three million infections and 137,000 deaths.
First, the epidemiologist has recognized that the rebound in cases in the country is due not only to the increase in testing, but also to the fact that there are more infections. The virus continues to spread. On the other hand recognize the chaosSome states have opened early without following federal guidelines and people have attended all kinds of gatherings without respecting social distance or the use of masks.
In addition, asked about the possibility of a second wave of coronavirus, he has said that they have not even come out of the first wave and sees “completely possible” that we continue in a single wave in case do not “drop dramatically” infection data in summer.
Then he launched a warning, especially taking into account the absurdity that has been reached in Washington of turning the mask into something political: “Everyone should wear a mask”. Fauci affirms that there is a lot of difference between wearing it or not and that political polarization and division do not serve to face the pandemic.
The epidemiologist has been cautious when assessing the work of the WHO: “I do not think we should say that we understood something wrong. The nature of this outbreak made it very difficult to respond. Obviously, you could always have done better, but I don’t think we did too badly. Quite simply, this outbreak has been particularly difficult. “
The director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases is 79 years old and is cautious when it comes to talking about President Trump. His position is not easy, it is situated between the value of the technical and the loyalty that is presumed in a position that is also political. He prefers not to comment on what it’s like to work with a president who contradicts his own guidelines.
