Dr. Anthony Fauci is not so surprised that President Donald Trumppreviously contracted COVID-19.
Asked if he was “surprised” the president got sick during a CBS News “60 Minutes” interview, which aired on Sunday, Fauci responded, “Absolutely not.”
“I was worried that he was going to get sick when I saw him in a completely precarious situation of crowded, no separation between people, and almost nobody wearing a mask,” Fauci said, referring to White House Rose Garden where Trump announced Amy Coney Barrett as his Supreme Court nominee on Sept. 26.
While covering his face with his hands, Fauci said, “When I saw that on TV, I said, ‘Oh my goodness. Nothing good can come out of that, that’s got to be a problem.’ And then sure enough, it turned out to be a super spreader event.”
Fauci is the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and a member of the White House
