Dr. Anthony Fauci has been one of the leading experts on the Coronavirus and what we can all do to help stop the spread of the virus. Of course, there has been a lot of push back from President Donald Trump, who has undermined Dr. Fauci at seemingly every turn. Hundreds of thousands of people in the United States have been infected with the virus and it looks like the country could be hit with over one million cases, very soon.
Dr. Fauci was recently on CNN where he spoke about the President's efforts and whether or not he could have acted sooner and in turn, save lives. The doctor was very honest about how the President knew weeks before any lockdowns that this could be a major problem, although the president didn't act.
In retaliation, a journalist took to Twitter with a call to fire Dr. Fauci. Trump saw the tweet and retweeted it, providing some commentary of his own and getting in his fake news bag.
Dr. Fauci is someone who has provided people with some much-needed perspective during this pandemic and if he were to be fired, the whole nation would be suffering a huge blow. In situations like this one, you need to listen to the experts and put your pride aside.
However, based on Trump's Twitter activity, it looks like Dr. Fauci's days with the administration could be numbered.

Steph Curry To Host Coronavirus Q&A With Dr. Anthony Fauci
Steph Curry and Dr. Anthony Fauci, an immunologist and member of the White House Coronavirus Task Force, will partake in a Q&A about the virus on IG live.
Steph Curry and Dr. Anthony Fauci, an immunologist and member of the White House Coronavirus Task Force, will be answering all of your questions about COVID-19 in an Instagram live session on the NBA star's account this Thursday. Well, to be clear, Dr. Fauci, who is also the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, will be doing most of the answering. Steph is, however, using his platform to give his massive following some expert knowledge on the topic of coronavirus. As misinformation and conflicting reports spread as much as the disease itself, it's important for the public to have the correct information about COVID-19. That's why the Golden State Warriors star has called on the disease specialist to address all of the inquiries that folks may have.
Steph announced the Q&A over social media on Wednesday, indicating that it would take place on Thursday at 10:00am PST. "Hyped to talk all things COVID-19 with Dr. Fauci of the @NIAIDNews tomorrow," he tweeted. "This is a conversation for YOU so submit questions with #SCASKSFAUCI."

Like most of the world, Steph is currently practicing social distancing by going into quarantine with his family. Earlier this month, the Warriors point guard was diagnosed with the flu after concerns rose that he had contracted coronavirus.
