Dr. Anthony Fauci Makes Coronavirus Plea Live on Facebook

In conversation with Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, the NIAID director told young people to step up

On Thursday, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg interviewed Dr. Anthony Fauci, the country’s leading infectious disease expert, about the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

“I would like to make a plea to the young individuals who are watching—adolescents, teenagers, people in their twenties and thirties, who we have mentioned and pointed out are so less likely to not get a serious consequence of infection—to please understand that you play a major role in ultimately containing this infection by not being careless and listening to the recommendations of physical separation,” Fauci said in the interview, which was livestreamed on Zuckerberg’s Facebook page.
