Dr. Fauci advises MLB not to play into October

In a recent article at the Los Angeles Times, author Bill Shaikin discussed the recent comments made by Dr. Anthony Fauci, the current director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases who has also doubled as the face of coronavirus education during the initial months of the pandemic.
