Watching Dr. Fauci speak at @GairdnerAwards Global Perspectives Panel. "Emerging and Re-Emerging Infectious Diseases: From AIDS to COVID-19" 
Map of emerging infectious diseases. When Dr. Fauci started, this map had one dot: HIV in Africa.
In 2015, Dr. Fauci's number one concern was a novel respiratory pathogen.
Fauci argues that the US locked down less strictly than EU (represented by Italy and Spain), which is why EU had low cases during summer whereas the US did not. However, EU now experiencing huge resurgence. Cases also increasing in US but from a much higher baseline.
Fauci describes lingering symptoms from #COVID19: "Post-COVID syndrome".
Fauci "cautiously optimistic" about monoclonal antibodies.
11 major vaccine candidates. US is supporting 6 of them. Much attention has been paid to harmonizing trial protocols/outcomes.
