1/ Real question: Dr. Anthony Fauci will be 80 in about three months. He looks to be in good shape and cognitively intact, but is it possible at this point he only has the bandwidth for one aspect of this crisis, and that bandwidth is media appearances for Dr. Anthony Fauci?

2/ What I mean is - is it possible he just hasn& #39;t thought through what& #39;s happened in the Sunbelt/Sweden, the problems with the tests, the lack of evidence for masks, the futility of tracing, etc?

I know this NEJM article he wrote is a strong counter... https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/nejme2002387">https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/...

3/ "This suggests that the overall clinical consequences of Covid-19 may ultimately be more akin to those of a severe seasonal influenza (which has a case fatality rate of approximately 0.1%) or a pandemic influenza..."

4/ But I guess I& #39;m just trying to find some explanation for his behavior that isn& #39;t either: he hates Trump so much he will do and say anything OR he knows what the media wants and is plugging away knowing a seven (eight?) figure book contract is waiting.
