The United States is at the top of the index of countries in terms of coronavirus cases and deaths: some 27 million cases and the latest figures for deaths is in excess of 470,000. Tackling the coronavirus is a top priority for the new US administration. The man at the heart of that endeavour is Dr Anthony Fauci, who is President Joe Biden's chief medical adviser, and also for decades, has been the head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. What is the main difference between the Biden administration, and the previous one, in tackling the coronavirus?
