President Trump has sidelined Anthony Fauci and Deborah Birx, his top virus experts, in favour of a conservative radiologist who opposes severe lockdowns and believes that children should return to school.
Scott Atlas, a former professor of neuroradiology at Stanford University and healthcare adviser to Mitt Romney’s 2012 presidential campaign, was introduced by Mr Trump this week as a new adviser on coronavirus.

Anthony Fauci has been described as an “alarmist”. Yesterday he said that he was “not pleased with how things are going”
