Fauci is brilliant. He keeps giving Trump's these face saving outs. Let's see if evangelicals prevail on Trump for an excuse to get the tithers back in the pews.

Fauci joined the National Institutes of Health in 1968. By 1974, he became Head of the Clinical Physiology Section and in 1980 was appointed Chief of the Laboratory of Immunoregulation. Four years later, he became Director of NIAID, which he still holds to this day.

"We cannot let the cure be worse than the problem itself," Trump said about coronavirus on Monday. "We're not going to let the cure be worse than the problem. At the end of the 15-day period, we'll make a decision as to which way we want to go."

Shouldn't he be the spotlight of the whole briefing session? Trump should step aside and bring Dr Fauci back RIGHT NOW!#WhereisDrFauci

Despite the president's recommendation, many health officials, Fauci included, say this would likely make the pandemic worse. Especially given the lack of data on the virus itself.

Fauci once again rolling back what the president had said. Just now on the Easter deadline: "Obviously no one is gonna wanna tone down things down when you see whats going on in a place like New York City. That’s just good public health practice and common sense."

Fauci is humoring Trump. He knows we're not going to be bringing things back to normal for a long time.

Last week, Fauci made ig clear that any evidence being reported about possible drug therapies treating coronavirus were strictly "anecdotal," and not the result of an actual clinical trial. Fauci also added that no one can "make any definitive statement about it."

We have a collision point fast approaching. Trump can’t stand the stockmarket in the tank. He also can’t stand the adoration Dr. Fauci & Gov Cuomo are garnering. So he will try to order everyone back to work on Easter. By then numbers will be sky hi. Sane people will ignore Trump

As Fauci was speaking, the president jumped to say that he felt "good" about the test treatments and disclosed that the federal government had already ordered "millions of units" of them.

Fauci also ended up going viral after ignoring his own advice and facepalming during an earlier White House briefing when Trump made a "Deep State" joke when answering a question.
