Living in Lockdown

Dr. Tony Fauci, Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, talked to NPR last week about the spread of the Corona virus.   Today, the White House directed all government officials, including health care professionals, to refrain from speaking directly to members of the media.

Dr. Fauci and his colleagues have been instructed by the government to funnel all inquiries about the virus, and the Administration's efforts to deal with it, through Vice President Mike Pence.  Mr. Pence must approve all media appearances by any government health care professional.

Not everyone is pleased with Mr. Pence in this role.
