Inside Biden's COVID response team, constant texting and nightly presidential reports

[TexasTowelie]

WASHINGTON -- Dr. Anthony Fauci learned quickly that being on President Joe Biden’s COVID-19 response team meant constant texts, Saturday meetings, and an “all-hands-on-deck” approach to the coronavirus pandemic.

The team has settled into a daily routine overflowing with highly punctual meetings, technical briefings and strategy sessions, interspersed by a continuous stream of texting, calls and ad hoc gatherings.

That is a result of the management style of Jeff Zients, coordinator of the White House COVID-19 response. Fauci, the president’s chief medical adviser, refers to him as the team’s “coach” or “conductor.”

“He really understands in depth everything that’s going on,” Fauci said. “He’s not a scientist, but he understands enough of the science that you can have a very meaningful discussion with him about the kinds of recommendations and policies that we talk about all the time.”

1. Great article. Zients and his team is doing what should have been done from the beginning

4. In case anyone is wondering (as I did) where your "Fuck Grogan" comment is coming from,

From the article (quoting Joe Grogan):
“ I’m disappointed that the Biden administration isn’t speaking more to conservatives, and is saying we don’t know how to talk to them, or we’re not the right messengers. I think that’s a terrible message,” he said. “He’s president of everybody in the country, including the people that didn’t vote for him.”

(On edit): go talk to Ron Johnson, Grogan, if you’re so worried about Biden not getting the message out to conservatives. Hypocrite.

5. Thank you. The President of everybody part got me

Trump threw fits with disaster relief to entire states just because he didn’t win the vote there.

3. a good article...so basically the US has gone from anarchy and voodoo to reality

It is amazing how many neighbors and relatives are still trumpers who can't see the difference.

Fauci seems pretty happy and energetic on his appearances now that he is not "quarantined"

6. What? Shouldn't they be focused on planning superspreader rallies to soothe Biden's ego?
