In Tuesday’s briefing with the White House Wuhan virus taskforce, Dr. Anthony Fauci pleaded for young Americans to comply with the Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) guidelines. In particular, Dr. Fauci drove home the importance of younger people staying home, as a duty to those at higher risk for contracting the virus.

As Dr. Fauci makes clear, younger Americans can make the most impact by staying home, rather than spreading the virus, even if they are not feeling symptoms:

He said: "Really try to distance yourself. Don’t get the attitude that I’m young and invulnerable...You are...less vulnerable than I am. However...We can't do this without the young people cooperating. Please cooperate.”

Dr. Fauci has been a resounding voice of reason during the Wuhan virus pandemic, and a level-head during this substantial crisis. Dr. Fauci also praised President Trump’s decisive action in response to the epidemic:
