Dr. Fauci easing the fears of a 7-year-old fan on Will Smith’s Snapchat show Will From Home has given us the feels! The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases director dished on COVID-19 facts, its impact on the black community and more. But the most heartwarming moment was undoubtedly the Q&A segment where he answered Ava’s question about the tooth fairy.
Ava asked “Can the Tooth Fairy still come if I lose my tooth because of the coronavirus? And can she catch the virus,”—to which Dr. Fauci answered, “I gotta tell you, Ava, I don’t think you need to worry about the Tooth Fairy.” Further reassuring her, Fauci told her to take the tooth and “stick it under the pillow,” guaranteeing that the “Tooth Fairy is not going to get infected and is not gonna get sick.”
