From my point of view Dr Fauci is a skilled virologist and immunologist. I had heard him on virology podcasts long before COVID-19 and found him very impressive as a scientist and as a human being.

You refer to risk analysis, and you are right, we didn't deal much with this subject in our show. You write of the risk individuals are willing to take, and I often see this point being made. The point made less often is the risk each person poses to others. Unwillingness to avoid crowds, to consider physical distancing or contesting the need for a mask are stances taken in relation to the objector's risk. The risk to others seems to be disregarded or given very low priority.
