Fauci, the country’s leading infectious diseases expert, said the United States needed to make an “abrupt change” in public health practices and behaviors.

He spoke as the nation set a new daily record Friday with more than 98,000 cases. Read more at the link in our bio.

      JJ! Thank you for finding this! I probably would not have known as I’m not much of a social media person. I will definitely follow this and try to attend virtually. It’s fascinating that we know so much about a person who lived 4500 years ago and she’s a SHE!!!
