“It’s almost like passing the baton in a race.”
Dr. Anthony Fauci is sharing his thoughts regarding the transition to a Biden-Harris administration and what it means for tackling the COVID-19 pandemic. During his appearance on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Jake Tapper asked Fauci how problematic it is for efforts to combat the coronavirus if public health officials are not able to communicate with the Biden-Harris team. “As you know, I’ve been through multiple transitions now, having served six presidents for 36 years and it’s very clear that transition process that we go through… is really important in a smooth handing over of the information as well as it’s almost like passing the baton in a race,” Fauci said.
