Dr. Anthony Fauci, a member of the White House’s coronavirus task force, says Americans should “go out” for Memorial Day. “Go out, wear a mask, stay 6 feet away from anyone so you have the physical distancing, and go out.” CNNTownHall
Fauci says Americans could expect to see more scientists from coronavirus task force soonDr. Anthony Fauci, the nation's top infectious disease expert, tonight acknowledged there had been a"lull" in public appearances from himself and top scientists on the White House Coronavirus Task Force, but suggested Americans could expect to hear more from the group soon.
"There was a period of time there was a little bit lull in being out there with the press but I believe that's going to change," said Fauci in a response to a question from CNN's Anderson Cooper on why Americans are no longer hearing from the group on a daily basis. Fauci has been absent from national television interviews over the last two weeks, as the White House moves ahead with reopening the economy.
“I think you're going to probably be seeing a little bit more of me and my colleagues,” Fauci said. “We've been talking with the communications people, and they realize we need to get some of this information out, particularly some of the scientific issues for which I'm predominantly responsible for, so hopefully we'll be seeing more of us, will get the opportunity to talk to you.”
Asked if the task force was still robust, despite the fact that it met for the first time today in six days, Fauci said the focus shifted to reopening and the economic impact, but the shift was not at the cost of studying scientific issues.
