This is so different Sanjay than anything else that I've experienced despite the 40

plus years I've been doing this.

That's Dr. Anthony Fauci, Director of the National Institute of Allergy in Infectious

Diseases and a member of the White House Coronavirus Task Force.

He's now one of the most recognizable leaders fighting this pandemic.

Fauci's signature gravely voice, a result of the copious press conferences, briefings

and interviews he's been doing, combined with his calm, evidence-based assurances have

become such a comfort to Americans lately that when he missed two White House briefings

in a row, the hashtag, where is Dr. Fauci, started trending on Twitter?

Even at the age of 79, the nation's top infectious disease doctor has been working around the

clock.

But he found time to talk to me for this episode.

I'm Dr. Sanjay Gupta, CNN's Chief Medical Correspondent and this is Coronavirus, fact versus

fiction.

We've seen Dr. Fauci in front of the cameras at the White House briefings, answering reporter's

questions.

His advice to the nation has had a profound effect on how we are all navigating this crisis.

Up behind the cameras, when he's not working, Tony Fauci and his family are adapting to

this new reality much like the rest of us.

I asked him how he's coping on a personal level.

You know, I'm doing fine, Sanjay.

It's very exhausting.
