Summary
In an interview with Dr. Jon LaPook, Dr. Anthony Fauci says he does not believe the U.S. will see the drastic quarantine measures China is taking to contain the coronavirus, but social distancing will be considered. In her first interview since the impeachment inquiry, President Trump's former top adviser on Russia tells Lesley Stahl the Russians didn't invent partisan divides in America, but "they understand how to exploit them." The Elfstedentocht is the longest, most punishing outdoor speed skating race in the world. And it's been an essential part of Dutch life since 1909. Held in the northern province of Friesland, the 125-mile race links 11 cities over frozen canals and waterways. But climate change has changed all that, and now the race is under threat. Bill Whitaker reports on an alternative race in the Austrian Alps that's drawing thousands of Dutch skaters. Those stories on this week's "60 Minutes."
