And let’s take a look back at what else Dr. Fauci has said about #Coronavirus.

On January 21, Dr. Fauci told @Newsmax TV that #Coronavirus “Is not a major threat to the people of the United States.” https://twitter.com/gregkellyusa/status/1246060637748330496?s=21">https://twitter.com/gregkelly...
My point here is that hindsight is 20/20 & everybody has things they wish they’d said differently.

On Feb. 10, Dr. Fauci told the WaPo that outside of China, regarding #Coronavirus, “There is very little — but some — transmission from person to person.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/02/10/qa-with-anthony-fauci-are-we-past-point-containment-coronavirus/">https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/...
Case-in-point on do-overs & needing to be more careful with language: in his Feb. 10 WaPo interview, Dr. Fauci said of #Coronavirus, “[S]hould we do anything different from what we’re already doing? No. Should we all be wearing a mask? Absolutely not.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/02/10/qa-with-anthony-fauci-are-we-past-point-containment-coronavirus/">https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/...
This #Coronavirus quote from Dr. Fauci to the NYT on Mar. 8 is spot-on, and true to this day: “It’s so easy to play Monday morning quarterback ... Every element of the federal government was working full-speed to try to get this out and get things going.” https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/08/health/fauci-coronavirus.amp.html">https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/0...
Here’s another good clip of Dr. Fauci on The Today Show from Feb. 29:

“Right now, at this moment, there is no need to change anything that you’re doing on a day by day basis. Right now the risk is still low, but this could change.” https://youtu.be/rh6ByuObVzc ">https://youtu.be/rh6ByuObV...
