Most people know immunologist Anthony Fauci as the doctor at the forefront of the White House’s response to the coronavirus pandemic — the grey-haired, bespectacled man who stands alongside President Donald Trump at pandemic press conferences.
The job has reportedly earned him a personal security detail due to threats of violence. He takes it seriously, but also in stride.
?[T]his is the life I’ve chosen,” Fauci told CBS’s Gayle King. “It’s my job.”
And what a job it is: Over Fauci’s 36-year career as an infectious disease expert, he has handled outbreaks and pandemics including HIV, SARS, MERS and Ebola.
Now, at 79, Fauci is working 19- to 20-hour days thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic.
It’s Fauci’s wife of 35 years, Christine Grady, a nurse bioethicist, who is there at the end of those very long days to remind him to take care of himself too.
Typically, Fauci, who has served as the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases since 1984 under six different administrations, is known for his 16-hour work days and his habit (as a former marathoner) of squeezing in a seven-mile run at lunchtime.
