The CSIS Global Health Policy Center invites you to join us for an  Online Event:  A Conversation with Dr. Anthony Fauci   Friday, July 24, 2020 1:30 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. EDT   A conversation with Dr. Anthony Fauci Director National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases National Institutes of Health   Moderated by J. Stephen Morrison Senior Vice President and Director CSIS Global Health Policy Center   View the webcast here Please join the CSIS Global Health Policy Center on Friday, July 24 from 1:30 p.m. - 2:00 p.m. EDT for a conversation with Dr. Anthony Fauci, Director of the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases at the National Institutes of Health and member of the White House Coronavirus Task Force on Covid-19 in the United States. The United States is in the midst of a worsening crisis, with Covid-19 cases and deaths increasing in the Sun Belt, the West, and many other parts of the United States. This begs the question: what is the strategy for ensuring that the outbreak does not spiral out of control in the United States? How can the United States strengthen the basic public health capacities – test, trace, and isolate – needed to slow the spread? What federal, state, and local actions may be necessary to protect the American people and safely reopen businesses, schools, and sporting events? In this CSIS Commission on Strengthening America’s Health Security event, J. Stephen Morrison, Senior Vice President and Director of the CSIS Global Health Policy Center, will discuss these difficult questions with Dr. Anthony Fauci. They will also discuss the development of a safe and effective Covid-19 vaccine, including the status and promise of Operation Warp Speed.   This event is made possible by the generous support of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
