The Week America Changed: Anthony Fauci on shutting down travel from Europe

There was a lot going on the week of March 9, 2020, but one difficult decision stands out in Dr. Anthony Fauci’s mind clearly, as he shuttled between the White House and Capitol Hill. 
Anthony Fauci joins Axios Re:Cap to discuss how he made the decision to support the ban on travel from Europe, what it was like splitting his time between advising the President and testifying on the hill, and how he thinks about the early weeks of the pandemic, when so much was unknown. 
Plus, we revisit the US’s shortage of COVID tests, yet another crisis that week.
