The Associated Press

"A potentially worrisome variant of the coronavirus detected in India may spread more easily, but the country is behind in doing the testing needed to track the variant and understand it better."

How are they behind? Behind who?

If India is behind is not everyone behind?

There are US government employees or were that look for influenza and other viral outbreaks. They are spread around the globe looking for the next wave. There is some cooperation among countries and samples are sent to from affected countries to labs around the world.

So how is India not behind if the US Europe and others are also not behind?

Maybe draft dodger Fauci can use his vast medical knowledge to sequence the new strain and study it, but that might crimp on his TV appearances.

Facuci is a draft dodger?‘After you finish Medical School, every one of you except the two women will either be in the Air Force, the Army, the Navy or the Public Health Service. So what we would like you to do is to put your priority.’ I knew that the NIH was at that time, and still is, a very desirable place to be from the standpoint of people wanting to go into academic medicine. If you look historically over the years the vast majority of leaders in biomedical research had some training, either a few years or many years, at the NIH. That was appealing to a lot of us so I put down as my first choice the United States Public Health Service, NIH. My second choice was the Navy. When the applications came out I would have probably gone into the Navy had I not been accepted to the NIH. I filled out my application for the Public Health Service and I came down to the NIH for an interview. I remember in the springtime of my fourth year of medical school, I received a call from Dr. Sheldon Wolff, who became my mentor and my very good friend, offering me a position in the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. I accepted the offer over the phone in the lobby of the New York Hospital, Cornell Medical Center. He asked me if I wanted the job, my beeper was going off, and I accepted the job over the phone. He asked me if I needed any time to think about it. I told him ‘no’ and that was it. I finished my medical school training. I did my internship and my residency and then I headed to the NIH. There is usually a two year advanced application.

AND TRUMP/ HOW DID HE MANAGE NOT TO SERVE?
