Dr. Anthony Fauci of NIH’s National institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) commented to the Financial Times yesterday that the world is facing “the perfect storm” with the COVID-19 pandemic. “You have a random virus jump species from an animal to a human that is spectacularly efficient in spreading from human to human, and has a high degree, relatively speaking, of morbidity and mortality,” Fauci told the FT. “We are living in the perfect storm right now.”
