fauci made.e will have a blueprint how to tackle this information that is grounded in a different kind of -- >> what could be done differently? be interested to hear you put some ideas out there. maybe react to that. facts, ins of the terms of transmission and mostntion in the language people can understand. that is why that is necessary. it is not sufficient given what we already know about different attitudes. i will make it difficult. we have plenty of evidence to comply with the recommendations. what we need to address head on is studying the reasons why rather than telling people what to we need to do in order to be more effective. we need to be smarter and understand those kinds of considerations. before you respond, let me share something. a colleague of ours, professor of physics wrote a recent article from his research. he was tracking public health, science and all. he was able to map this battlefield of disinformation. here is what he found. he was looking at the anti-vax debate. tends

tony fauci.the thing that transpires us most of us is his clear insistence on science and involving evidence as a format in which we make all of our decisions. then in any format to remind us of the principles that scientists and evidence is evidence. the other thing that i think is really important, is a blessing and a curse. being in healthcare this time. it's kind of scary to in the front lines of this disease that we really don't know the impact of. so if we know it is really bad disease. nobody wants to have this. we have not been really good in many parts of our country, the prime minister see or to become part of the growth with this entirely new disease. and what we have learned that is really transformed both our intervention strategies in terms of broader applications. the writing this roller coaster. based on involving evidence. this is really exciting. host: we had more time with him. just so much of the challenge is part of the conversation that we had where he talks about the unknow

fauci. we will now hear from dr. giroir or admiral giroir. [laughter] adm. giroir: both are fine. chairman, ranking member scalise and distinguished members of the committee, it's good to see you again. testing is an essential element of america's response to covid-19. testing enables clinical decision making. it heralds impending outbreaks, it informs resource allocation and it assists in minimizing economic and social disruption, but we cannot test our way out of this or any other pandemic. testing does not replace personal responsibility. it does not substitute for avoiding crowded indoor spaces , or washing hands, or wearing a mask. a negative test does not mean that you won't be positive tomorrow. a negative test does not substitute for avoiding crowds, or wearing a mask, or protecting the vulnerable with your actions. all of that being said, as of this morning, the nation has performed over 59 million covid-19 tests, now averaging over 820,000 tests per day, up from 550,000 tests per d

now on bbc news: katty kay speaks to doctor anthony fauci.the most famous doctor in america, and as head of america's institute of allergy and infectious diseases since 1984, anthony fauci has advised six different american presidents on everything from ebola to aids. over the last few decades, he has also seen his effigy burnt, heard the cries of protesters calling him a murderer, and had smoke bombs thrown at his office window. since the beginning of the year, he has been in the thick of a new battle — against coronavirus. for americans, he has become a trusted presence behind the podium at white house covid—19 briefings. but as a us struggles to contain the pandemic, six months after its first known case, tensions have been rising between dr fauci and the president. dr fauci has criticised the president's response on a number of occasions, pushed back on the president's claims that the outbreak is improving, and attributing hasty state reopenings to the recent surges. the white house is targeting dr fauci by briefing reporters about his al

fauci about that.hat is driving the new case lode we are seeing now since it's not testing and here's what he said. >> the good news about covid-19 is that about 40% of the population has no symptom when is they get infected. that's good. i mean, you get infected, you've got no symptoms. the bad news for messaging is that 40% of the population get no symptoms. >> and sanjay, that is the bad news. you still have people saying because 40% of people don't have symptoms, this isn't that serious. we are still hearing that. and yes, it's often a political point. but we're still hearing it. >> right. and both things can be true, right? i mean, that's the thing is that we're capable of more abstract thinking. this is an unusual virus in this regard. typically when people are very contagious, they may be coughing and sneezing and not feeling well, hopefully staying at home. but this virus as we've known since middle of february, people can spread this asymp matically. there's even been evidence that people are

fauci's testimony today. we'll talk about it on the other side. >> i think there was such a diversity of response in this country from different states that we really did not have a unified bringing everything down. >> so diversity of response -- that's a euphemism for scattershot failure. and, anne, is our national policy as of tonight and going forward -- does it remain the lack of a national policy? >> i was just going to say, brian, when you say national policy, what national policy? we don't have a national policy. we had a hearing this morning about how we were going to move forward with a national policy, and there's still nothing clear in there. you know, we still have -- where we stand today is we still are lacking in testing. we're lacking in contact tracing. we are lacking in therapeutics and vaccines. we know the few things that works, the masks, the social distancing, all the five things that fauci mentions today, masks, social distancing, don't go to bars, stay away from crowded places, wash you

dr fauci, thank you forjoining us and best of luck to you. you, thank you for having me. hello there. the heat and humidity ebbed away during the course of saturday and resulted in a much more comfortable night for sleeping. but again, as we know, on friday, we were just shy of 38 celsius. we had our third hottest day on record. just to show you the contrast, just about everywhere was ten degrees down on that on saturday. so, it felt a little cooler, but it most certainly felt less humid, so more comfortable for sleeping — and we'll keep that fresher feel around for the day ahead — but there will be scattered showers around. we're under the atlantic influence again. low pressure to the north throwing in this weather front, which has given some fairly heavy rain across the northern half of the country through the night. still around, i think, first thing, but look at those temperatures. a much cooler start to the day for many. and what we have in the north, that cloud and rain, will tend to break up, but given we've got that moisture, that wil

fauci.re going to talk a little bit about that, but you are the face of science for so many right now, not just here in the united states but around the world. but i am sorry that you're going through that. there just -- there isn't an excuse for that. we have a public health crisis through which you're helping us navigate ourselves. and let's get do that. i want to show this animation here of what's been going on in the world with regard to covid in several countries around the world. you get an idea if you look at this timetable, obviously things started off in china. in the middle of march there. then the united states just sort of takes over there. dr. fauci, as you can see this graphic, this will take us up to august 5th. as dean williams sort of asked, how -- how did we get here? >> you know, as he also said, it's such a complicated situation, sanjay, of how we got here. first of all, we got hit really hard by an historic pandemic that has characteristics that make it very difficult, e

fauci. i feel like we, you know, you and i have the power to have you meet brad, because i sort of feel like anything you and i suggest, he does. >> well, we'll see. we'll speep thanee. thanks, alisyn. >> i'm not done with you. would you like to go up on stage when he wins. would you like there to accept the emmy award? >> the only reason i have hesitancy about that is that we're in the middle of an outbreak, a bad pandemic and i think that if that association with kind of showbiz thing might be interpreted that i'm not serious about what i'm doing. so i would rather focus on my job and really wish him well that he wins. >> i was afraid there was going to be a point that i pushed you too far, and i feel like that we have just gotten up to that point. but we really appreciate how playful you have been on the lighter note with all of that. and it was just great. it was just a great moment to watch, you know, that obviously brad pitt is a fan of yours and all of your information, as well. >> ye

anthony fauci, late this afternoon. we asked him about the children in this country, nearly 100,000 of them testing positive in just the last two weeks of july, and we asked him about the images from some schools already. the crowded hallways, many students without masks, and dr. fauci made it clear to me that he thinks there should be universaal mask-wearing in american schools. dr. fauci, thanks for joining us here, and i want to start off with the news. we saw these new numbers today, increases in hospitalizations in 20 states, increases in daily deaths in 25 states, and i'm sure you're aware of this new study from the american academy of pediatrics. nearly 100,000 children have tested positive for coronavirus in just the last two weeks, and this, of course, comes as many schools across this country prepare to reopen. do you feel comfortable with much of the country sending children back to school? >> no, it's really a mixed bag in some respects, david, because we live in a pretty large country that has differences i

fauci in our next hour. his assessment directly contradicts the president, who keeps repeating a silly claim that the virus will just go away, because he says, things go away. breaking overnight, a sign of just how uncoupled from reality the president's words are. for the first time, facebook took down a post from the president's page because it was spreading misinformation on the virus. this has to do with claims of immunity that he made, though immunity just doesn't exist. twitter took down a similar post, as well. more on this extraordinary social media rebuke shortly. first, cnn's stephanie elam live in los angeles. you want to talk about extraordinary there, stephanie. there's a threat from the mayor in los angeles that if you disobey pandemic rules, you're going to get your power cut off. >> reporter: and your water. it's very hard to have a party if you're doing that, john. and this is very much the situation we are in right now. you take a look at what dr. anthony fauci said, he said that the virus g

fauci is dr. fauci's office is not in the white house. he is out of the nih about a 30-minute drive to the white house. dr. birx' space is in the west wing. she is the person who actually meets with the president on a near daily basis a few times a week to talk out what is going on with covid-19. it makes it more awkward for the two of them and for the president to be calling her pathetic on twitter and the way that he was. so it really determined -- remains to be seen i guess you should say how this affects this going forward. as the president is downplaying the severity in the u.s. and as you saw him talking at the briefing they are ramping up testing in the west wing. it is no longer just the people who meet with the president. there is now mandatory, random testing for the staff in the west wing. >> all right. thank you very much. i am still shocked it has taken them this long. those people could come into contact with anybody who comes into contact with the president. thank you. >>> i want to go to dr. sanjay gupta and dr. jonathan r

fauci just wouldn't go to certain areas.hat was the mood within the room and what did the congressman leave at the end of the hearing with? >> jason, good to be with you. the mood in the room was very serious because we are making big decisions. we are seeing states make big decisions all based on data and the democrats are literally trying to mislead the country and say there's no plan and they criticized the plan when the president does things like shutdown flights from china. but then they say there's no plan if they see tests go up. they criticized the president for not having enough testing. the president. we are almost 800,000 tests a day now which is a revolutionary number. then they criticized too many positives because more people are being tested. all he wanted was attacked the president and i think today i really wanted to question dr. fauci about the decisions that were made by president trump to take leadership to develop a plan and ultimately jason, to save american lives. dr. fauci right on the line on every q
