When the coronavirus task force convened at the Department of Education this week, Fauci was told to beam in over the phone instead of attending in person.
While he's conducted a flurry of newspaper and radio interviews, he has stopped appearing on major American television networks.
"I have a reputation, as you probably have figured out, of speaking the truth at all times and not sugar-coating things,"
Fauci told the Financial Times this week. "And that may be one of the reasons why I haven't been on television very much lately."
