Anthony Fauci, MD, Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) is one of the most widely approved votes of the Coronavirus pandemic. That's why yesterday, when he gave an interview with 45 minutes withAshish jha, MD, the dean entering the public health school at Brown University, people were looking for more than wise healthcuts: they were looking for signs of optimism and hope.
