"Amid the ongoing global coronavirus pandemic, Anthony S. Fauci, head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, has been charged with a herculean task: trying to keep President Trump’s public statements about the novel virus rooted in fact.
"Now it appears that Fauci’s frustration is showing.
"When asked Sunday by Science magazine’s Jon Cohen about having to stand in front of the nation as “the representative of truth and facts” when “things are being said that aren’t true and aren’t factual,” the 79-year-old said there is only so much he can do." . . .
Dr. Fauci Praises President Trump For Stopping Travel From China Early On   . . .

"Then a friend sent him a recent article about hydroxychloroquine, a prescription drug that’s been used to treat malaria for decades and auto-immune diseases like lupus." . . .
Medical Professor Praises Trump Admin for Coronavirus Response: 'I've Never Seen One Handled Better  . . . "A medical expert is praising the Trump administration for its response to the coronavirus, while slamming the news media for its actions.
“ 'I’ve been handling these emerging contagions for about 20 years now, and I have to tell you, I’ve never seen one handled better,” Dr. Marc Siegel said regarding the actions of President Donald Trump since the coronavirus first emerged as a concern in January.
"Siegel is a professor of medicine at New York University, a medical correspondent for Fox News, and the author of “False Alarm: The Truth About the Epidemic of Fear.”
"Asked on SiriusXM’s “Breitbart News Sunday” about how the news media has handled the outbreak, he said, “They’re certainly not helping because they’re hyping, and the hyping leads to hysteria.”
"Siegel said the Trump administration’s coronavirus task force brings together the right people." . . .
