La sua morning routine: colazione, giornali e poi a lavoro per "salvare il mondo"

Transcript

00:00Do you want me to do the introduction?

00:01Yep.

00:02Hi, my name is Tony Fauci.

00:04I'm the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases

00:07at the National Institutes of Health and President Biden's chief medical advisor.

00:12What's your morning routine?

00:13Oh, I get up around 5 o'clock, shave, shower, have a little breakfast,

00:18take a quick look at the paper, scan my emails, and then head off to the NIH.

00:23How do you vaccinate 100 million people in 100 days?

00:25You do it by the proper distribution and the utilization of hospitals, pharmacies,

00:33community vaccine centers.

00:35Why should I take the vaccine?

00:36This is the most terrible pandemic of a respiratory disease that we've had in 102 years.

00:44So a vaccine not only protects you, it can protect your family and protect the community.

00:50Did you get it?

00:51I got the Moderna vaccine.

00:53In fact, I just got my boost, my second shot.

00:56Do you still run every day?

00:58I do.

00:59I used to run during the day, but now, given the intensity of the job that I have,

01:03I do that mostly in the evenings.

01:05Who wins the NL East?

01:07No idea.

01:08Even after people are vaccinated, do you still have to wear a mask and social distance?

01:12Yes.

01:13You could actually be spreading the infection,

01:16even though you're not getting sick because you're vaccinated.

01:19For that reason, we ask people, even when you're vaccinated, wear a mask.

01:24Beatles or stones?

01:25Beatles, for sure.

01:27When you're not saving the world, what do you do with your downtime?

01:29That's a great question, except I don't have any downtime.

01:32Sorry.

01:33How long until everything's back to normal?

01:35Will we ever go to concerts again?

01:36We will get back to some degree of normality, but that's going to depend a lot on the success

01:41we have in getting a lot of people vaccinated.

01:44The Biden administration has just put out a plan how to enhance that and facilitate that.

01:50We think it's eminently feasible to do that.
