  1. Dr. Anthony Fauci was appointed Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) in1984. He oversees an extensive research portfolio of basic and applied research to prevent, diagnose, and treat established infectious diseases such as HIV/AIDS, respiratory infections, diarrheal diseases, tuberculosis and malaria as well as emerging diseases such as Ebola and Zika. NIAID also supports research on transplantation and immune-related illnesses, including autoimmune disorders, asthma and allergies.

    Dr. Fauci has advised six Presidents on HIV/AIDS and many other domestic and global health issues. He was one of the principal architects of the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), a program that has saved millions of lives throughout the developing world.

    Dr. Fauci also is the longtime chief of the Laboratory of Immunoregulation. He has made many contributions to basic and clinical research on the pathogenesis and treatment of immune-mediated and infectious diseases. He helped pioneer the field of human immunoregulation by making important basic scientific observations that underpin the current understanding of the regulation of the human immune response.

    Dr. Fauci is a member of the US National Academy of Sciences and has received numerous awards, including the National Medal of Science, the Mary Woodard Lasker Award for Public Service, and the Presidential Medal of Freedom.  He has been awarded 38 honorary doctoral degrees and is the author, coauthor, or editor of more than 1,200 scientific publications, including several major textbooks.

    In a 2019 analysis of Google Scholar citations, Dr. Fauci ranked as the 41st most highly cited researcher of ALL TIME.  According to the Web of Science, he ranked 8th out of more than 2.2 million authors in the field of immunology by total citation count between 1980 and January 2019.

    And Trump thinks he knows more about viruses and infectious diseases than this guy, simply  because he had an Uncle who attended MIT. Let that sink in for a moment.

    1. @Eric Hoberg I agree and it is irresponsible for our government to have disbanded the Pandemic Response Team in 2018.

    2. @Angela Veale If he fired him any one of a hundred countries would snatch him up and quadruple whatever pay he is getting now. Plus he can’t be fired from all the associations he has forged in so many areas of medicine in. As a professor he cannot be stopped from speaking the truth about this mess

      Nor can Trump find anyone with is background with infections since he steered us through HIV/AIDS in 1984. He is all by himself the Medical Varsity Team!

    1. @Kostas1601 But maybe in the US people go to the hospital to get cured from just a normal flu too?!?!? Well, what is the worry about there is not enough resources because like a lot of people get sick with the common cold each year, even several times a year. If that be the case, then you have it well over there then and I am amazed!!!!!

    2. @Charlotte Cannon The United States of America, dream land for lawyers, with or without the covid, sans lack of common sense. Things is, isolate to slow down and stop the distribution of the virus, that is the most important thing. Save the testing resourcing time and money to other measures that are going to save lives at this point. The time that everyone has been tested and waited for the results, the virus have had time to hit everyone. In stopping the virus, you need to be faster than the virus, speed is essential, so stay home and that way you stop the spread immediately.

    3. @Heidi Karinen – I think majority of ppl do know this. My spouse is a MD. a biologist, scientist, the former Director over Bio-Terrorism, former Director over Emergency Preparedness and the former Medical Director….for 46+ years prior to retiring 7 years ago.

    4. Heidi Karinen I wonder what’s blocking your brain from being able to recognize a joke? Self righteous? Stupidity? I’m betting it’s the latter, but do tell us so we can point you into the proper direction. Like where to pick up your helmet and where to get your lobotomy! I’m eager to help you sweetheart!

    1. @jays knight king titan Lol, another bsing Trump supporter. You obviously have no idea of returns on investments in the actual stock market. Tell me there buddy, what is your portfolio like, because i have over 3 million invested still, the rest i pulled out as soon as word of the virus came out. My guess is you have no investments, just like most of trump’s supporters.

    2. @David Gray No ones asking you to buy anything.. Your loss is my gain and I don’t expect you to be supportive lol. Go wave your Biden flag on the way to the social security office.

    1. Rick G Theres nothing to learn thats why! It is nothing more than a new strain of the flu plain and simple

    2. @D B And what’s your point exactly????? I guess to you this is just all hype? Correct me if I’m wrong.

    1. @superblonde what’s amazing about them deciding if saving you in any critical case is a economic decision and if they dont think your worth the money you don’t get treated…. am I wrong

    2. @superblonde Primary car physician was a requirement for coverage in an HMO plan. Doctors hated it as the fees were all pre-agreed and they could milk the system so they got out of them. Now every doctor is a specialist and patients self refer. Its a pain.

    1. According to WHO and any Experts Drs, Medical Researchers, Medical Scientists, Lab. workers, no one prepared for this type of virus named CONVD-19, since it’s new, and no any useful treatment, no vaccine, no medcine to prevent it or cure, that’s why this NYU ER chief dr. unable to answer.

    2. @angarch no, a debate is give and take. an interview is questions and answers, of which Chris, for the most part, did both 😉

    3. I u derstood the dr b/c I have been reading up on it….it is the interviewers job to clarify….bottom line is to not overwhelm the healthcare system unless you have a sickness that escalates to respiratory problems

    1. What more do want him say, is a new disease that just started infecting people this year. There are no vaccine or remedies that we know of, quarantine is the best answer at the moment.

    2. @Jose Jonhson takes 1 video a day a a dude or 2 lol not 1000 dudes making the same 1 video… thats not news! 👍🏼 😉

    1. if you live in the US, probably. Anywhere else in the world, if you’re symptomatic, you get tested, get quarantined or be admitted to a hospital and get better. All without losing everything you own.

    1. @Da_Host L3GT Medical school does not make you a genius. Anyone can study and pass the exams, but common sense is something you don’t learn in school, and a lot of these book smart idiots like Dr.Caldwell are morons in everyday life.

    2. @The Calming Kind the masses are ignorant and that’s how they will put thier life at risk. He can teach how but that would take minimum 4 hours.

    1. Detrick it’s stupid people that like to travel. “Hey honey wanna go to Italy and back to America “

    1. Not one human is the same. Not one human has the same perception of “flu like symptoms” and “difficulty breathing”. People also have certain conditions like COPD and asthma, which will make it super easy for you die from this disease. He doesn’t want to say what you should do because everyone’s condition isn’t “normal” (there’s also no such thing as normal in medicine btw). Some one who has a condition (there are so many people who don’t know they have something) might take his advice word for word, follow it, and die. That’s why he doesn’t want to answer it fool.

    1. _Any day is as good as any to die_ – has always been my personal philosophy on death. But then I’ve actually been in situations where I wasn’t sure if I was gonna be alive the next day.

    2. I’d rather die at home alone. Than in a hospital, with a hose down my throat and my family somewhere else. At least I can video my good byes.

    1. You have to be patient and listen. Everything they said was something to remember. It doesn’t hurt to hear the same thing over and over until you remember it and don’t lose sight of it.. do everything you possibly can to protect yourself and others around you💝
      Ppl need to stop underestimating this. I started out laughing about it But its terrifying and not funny at all :/ poor old people

  2. If I can’t breathe and this guy is what I find in the ER, yeah I’m dead. And living in a small apartment with my two sons how do I isolate myself??

  3. Dr was scared …. he thought he was really asking questions becase he got symptoms until he said what if I’m 68 lol 😂 .. then the whole energy switched up lol
