Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation's top infectious disease expert, says President Trump just approaches fighting the coronavirus pandemic from a 'hope, layperson standpoint' while he approaches it from a scientific one.
The nation's top infectious disease expert said Sunday that"there isn't, fundamentally, a difference" between his view and President Donald Trump's when it comes to combatting coronavirus, saying Trump just approaches fighting the pandemic from a"hope, layperson standpoint" while he approaches it from a scientific one.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, in an interview on CBS' Margaret Brennan on"Face the Nation," was asked about his difference in medical opinion with Trump -- that a combination of two drugs, hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin, could possibly help with treating coronavirus -- and whether he was concerned such drugs could become over-prescribed, potentially leading to a shortage for those who need them.
