The #Covid19 pandemic has shown that our societies are not organized well enough to make room for the elderly, with proper respect for their dignity and frailty. When the elderly are not cared for, there is no future for the young. #WEAAD2020

The @CDCgov began to recommend wearing cloth masks in public after studies showed people can transmit COVID-19 without showing symptoms.

This fantastic profile in The New Yorker discusses Dr. Fauci's tireless work against some of "humanity's most virulent threats," including HIV. Dr. Fauci mentions here that his first paper on HIV was published in Annals of Internal Medicine. #COVID19 #DrFauci #InfectiousDisease

Homemade masks can play an important role in the fight against the #COVID-19 pandemic but the type of fabric used is key to their effectiveness, according to tests performed at Wake Forest Baptist Health. https://t.co/4ytiRCmiRC

Dr. Anthony Fauci responds to Dr. Oz's advocacy for HCQ as a covid treatment: "That was not a very robust study." Fauci also says some may "feel" HCQ is an effective treatment, and "there is a suggestion" it could be, but we can't "make that majestic leap" to assume it's a cure.
