Fauci says he wasn't aware White House coronavirus briefings were returning

President Donald Trump's announcement on Monday that he will resume regular coronavirus briefings at the White House was apparently news to America’s top infectious disease expert.

Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, appeared to be caught off guard by the briefings' return during an interview with Maria Shriver on Instagram Live Monday.

Asked if he would be participating in the briefings, Fauci said, "I would assume I am."

"I mean, I have not gotten official word of when the next one was," he said. "I was down at the White House just this afternoon. If they start the briefings, I would imagine I'm going to be part of it, at least some of them."

It'll probably be more an attention grab than a coronavirus briefing.

1. So Fauci won't be there. Not that I thought trump would invite him.

2. ...primarily because they aren't coronavirus briefings

they're campaign rallies.

Don't need Fauci for those.

3. Ouch.

Sucks. Last night Dr. Sanjay Gupta said he was happy the briefings were coming back, after complaining about how utterly worthless they were for months. Don't people get it by now? Do they think Trump is magically going to change and suddenly become helpful and informative?

He can't change. The new virus briefings will be exactly like the old virus briefings, only angrier.

4. I doubt he will be invited.

It will be "Everything is fine, curve is flattened, we did a great job, like no one has ever seen, numbers are down, I'm great, blah blah blah, not my fault, I have been treated bad..."

5. If Fauci is not there, the media should refuse to televise them.

Let the turd know that HE is not controlling this narrative.

6. They're not returning

They're propaganda and re-election rally's.

He’s back: Trump to re-up virus briefings amid lagging polls

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump is set to once again take center stage in the government’s coronavirus response after a White House debate over how best to deploy its greatest and most volatile asset — him — played out in public as his poll numbers falter.

One week after a campaign shake-up, the plan is for Trump to again become a regular public presence at the podium starting Tuesday as confirmed coronavirus cases spike nationwide.

Trump advisers have stressed the urgency of the president adopting a more disciplined public agenda in an effort to turn around his lagging poll numbers against Democratic rival Joe Biden.

Disciplined public agenda? Trump?
