"Dr. Anthony Fauci said Covid-19 is an “evolving outbreak” and it needs to be lead by using scientific data. Speaking to Dr. Sanjay Gupta during a CITIZEN by CNN conference on Tuesday, Fauci said, “The public needs to understand is that this is an evolving situation.”
Fauci said “a classic example” of this is back in the spring, when officials altered mask guidance.
“We were not aware that 40% to 45% of people were asymptomatic, nor were we aware that a substantial proportion of people who get infected get infected from people who are without symptoms. That makes it overwhelmingly important for everyone to wear a mask," Fauci said.

“So when people say, ‘Well, why did you change your stance? And why are you emphasizing masks so much now when back then you didn't? And in fact, you even said you shouldn't because there was a shortage of masks?’ Well, the data now are very, very clear,” he added. “We need to put that nonsense behind us about, ‘Well, they keep changing their minds.'"
“Masks works. Physical distancing works. Avoiding crowds work,” Fauci said. https://www.cnn.com/world/live-news/coronavirus-pandemic-09-22-20-intl/index.html
