Fauci, who still fits patient visits into his day and is escorted by a team of federal agents because of threats to his safety, mentioned one scheduled 20-minute break within the particular 18-hour workday. That day largely revolved around press appearances and emails. "I don't socialize," Fauci told HuffPost.
