Mark Zuckerberg livestreamed an interview with Dr. Anthony Fauci in which the nation’s leading expert on infectious diseases addressed urgent concerns of Americans as the coronavirus continues to spread.
Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, spoke with the Facebook CEO live on Facebook on Thursday after “Where is Dr. Fauci?” trended on Twitter when Fauci did not appear at a White House news conference.
In his just-the-facts style, Fauci told viewers he expects social distancing and shelter-in- place measures to extend beyond 15 days. The U.S. is still in the “escalation phase” and how effective we are at fighting the virus will depend on how much we distance ourselves from one another, he said.
Fauci also emphasized that everyone should limit their exposure to others, including teenagers and young adults.
