EXCERPT:
FAUCI: “Well, I think — from what we know and I’m sure Bob can also comment on that -- from the conversations that we had early on it was led to believe that early on that this was jumping from an animal to a human in the context of the wet market in Wuhan. And that it was inefficient virus that just jumped from an animal to a human and didn’t necessarily spread very well from human to human. At a time when it was clear that there was at least a few weeks and maybe more of transmission from human to human that we didn’t know about, and then when we finally found out that it was a highly efficient transmitter from human to human it would have been nice to know about that sooner.”
