For another example, see 'I know, but what do you want me to do?': Fauci's strikingly honest review of Trump's coronavirus response ? TN Editor

Sunday on CBS's "Face the Nation," National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases director Dr. Anthony Fauci said President Donald Trump was only a "layperson" who has hope for success with existing drugs being successful in treating coronavirus.

Fauci added he was "coming from it from a scientific standpoint."

Host Margaret Brennan asked, "You are the leading infectious disease expert in the U.S. government. You said this week that you differed from the president in his assessment that a combination of two drugs, Hydroxychloroquine and Azithromycin, could have the outcome he described to the public possibly could. Who is the president listening to? And do you see a concern here that those drugs could become, you know, basically over-prescribed and there could be a shortage who impact people who have persistent medical issues like Lupus who need those?"
