“How is COVID-19 different from the flu in terms of you know how it interacts with the body and just how it spreads?” Curry asked.
“Well, it’s similar in some respects Steph in that it’s a respiratory illness that’s transmitted by the respiratory root,” Fauci said. “The reason it’s different is that it’s very, very much more transmissible than the flu, and more importantly it’s significantly more serious.”
