LIVE VIDEO: Fauci Testifies Before Senate Committee

CBS News reports:



Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s leading infectious diseases expert, is testifying before a Senate committee Tuesday, his first appearance before Congress since March. Fauci is appearing remotely at the 10 a.m. hearing with Dr. Robert Redfield, the director of the CDC, and other officials to discuss reopening the economy amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Fauci told CBS News that he will warn the country of the risks of reopening the economy too soon. He also plans to make the point — as a health professional — that there are a lot of things that people can do to get back to normal if they follow federal guidelines, and that the country must have the capability to prevent full blown outbreaks if there is another spike.
