Fauci, who is a father of three, explained that his adult daughters live in “disparate parts of the country” in areas with high levels of COVID-19 infections, which is why his kids will not join him at Thanksgiving. His daughters suggested that in order to keep him safe, as he is considered high risk per CDC guidelines, that he spend the holidays without them. “We want you and mommy to have a nice, quiet dinner,” Fauci says they told him. “Maybe have a neighbor next door that always comes over the house that you know that’s negative, and we’ll send our love via Zoom.”
