    June 3, 2020 I 9:21am I Updated 'US and 2d me Dr. Anthony Fauci Getty Images composite Fauci could be a big winner Wednesday. No, not Dr. Anthony Fauci, the infectious disease expert, but the horse named after him which will run in the third race at Belmont Park today as racing returns to Elmont, the first sporting event in New York in 80 days. Fauci, jockeyed by Tyler Gaffalione and trained by Wesley Ward, is a 4-to-5 favorite. Had a very difficult experience today. The POTUS called my cell and screamed at me because I had mentioned to the Press (likely on a Howard Bauchner podcast or a Politico interview that the duration of immunity for common coronaviruses was 6 months to 1 year and that although we do not know the duration of vaccine immunity, it is possible that we may have to use additional boosts. Apparently the press blew this up and said that the vaccine will only protect for a very short time. The POTUS was very angry. He said I cannot keep doing this to him. He said he lover me but the country is in trouble and I am making it worse. He said the stock market only went up 600 points and it should have gone up 1000 points and so I cost the country $1 trillion. Quite a phone call. 10:00 PM - Katie Miller called me up and said she had a message from the POTUS and the VP. Both of them (POTUS and VP) asked Katie to tell me that they both loved me and are sorry about what happened. They understand and feel that the press will continue to pit me against the POTUS and so please be careful. 1 Sarah Wheaton 50,000/107,000 2020 Sammies Federal Employee a September. ;000/108,000 PRESS: Politico interview with Sarah Wheaton

PRESS: Live Instagram with Jose Andres; Alan Alda Podcast; Did interview with Jonathan Swan of Axios.

    June 5, 2020 - Global - 6,400,000/385,000; USA - 1,870,000/108,000 Had Zoom with activists David Barr, Peter Staley, Mark Harrington, James Kellerstein about community engagement with COVID-19 research and the issue of releasing data before publication. Moderna becoming a pain in the ass about the collaboration with mRNA vaccine. Wanting to pull back on prior agreements. We will pull the BARDA money if they do so Did "Fireside Chat" withn Brookings Institute with David Rubenstein. I made favorable comments today on CNBC about vaccines and decreasing of # of cases and the stock market went up by 3%. I should (but will not) contact the POTUS and say that he told me on Tuesday that my remarks blunted the increase in the Stock Market and cost him "one trillion fucking dollars". And so now my remarks actually made him "4 trillion fucking dollars", and so he owes me $3 trillion. Lilo by Mark Tatulll for June 05, 2020 Dear De Fauci, How are you? I am fine.

    June 7, 2020 - Global - 6,700,000/393,000; USA -1,930,000/709 Sunday - no health people on Sunday Shows. Nation gripped with protests, demonstrations and violence over death of George Floyd and other assaults on blacks. A couple of days ago the POTUS ordered the clearance of Lafayette Park to get to St John's Church to do a photo op with a bible. Police crushed a peaceful crowd. Major PR reaction. Gen Milley and Sec. of Defense Asper being sharply criticized for being there and participating in the process. They were probably taken by surprise of what they were involved in. Milley wearing combat fatigues (not good). Protests spreading worldwide. Disturbing trend over past few days in number of new cases per day with 29,000 today. This is not rapidly going down regarding new cases, in fact going up. USG claiming that this is due to doing more testing, but that cannot explain it all. Could be result of crowds during Memorial Day and if so, we can expect more as country opens, in some cases prematurely. Also, deaths keep coming down.

    June 9, 2020 - Phone call with Sen. Richard Burr (R-NC) about "after action" evaluation of our response. Big controversy when the WHO's Maria Van Kerkhove said that transmission from asymptomatic person was "very rare". She got blasted for this since there was no data to indicate this. We feel that there is substantial transmission since asytmptomatics have equivalent viral load in nasopharynx as do people with Sxs. Also data from Teddy Roosevelt aircraft carrier and prisons and nursing homes and meat packing plants indicate that transmission occurs a lot from asymptomatics. Lovely "thank you" by the Weill Cornell Medicinegraduating students for my sending them a video brief "Commencement Address" for their "virtual graduation". Several state are showing increases in number of cases and % of tests that are positive. Coud be the beginning of a rebound. NYC has opened as had DC. Other states getting "itchy" to open. Major sentiment to move forward. We will soon face the problem that if we see blips that are not contained by contact tracing, will the administration say damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead or will they pull bak. I suspect the former. Weill Cornell Medicine Student Thank you Video https://vimeo.com/426254316 Password: wcm PRESS: Yahoo Finance TV; Interview with Melissa Healey of LA Times;

    June 10, 2020 - Global - 7,100,000/405,000; USA - 1,980,000/113,000 Reports of multiple states including North Carolina, South Carolina, Alaska, Arizona, California, Utah, Tennessee,etc. having the highest single day number of cases reported. Cannot just be due to increased testing. Concern that the opening of states will be Global USA ine about Christine. ,050,000/1 14,000 followed by increased infections that will be difficult to contact trace since many are asymptomatic. Spoke with the David Barr group again last night and they feel that they will not be able to adequately contact trace if a uptick occurs. Also, there is a growing urge for peope to "get out". Did a Zoom call with Francis Collins and the activists - Peter Staley, James Krellenstein about PrEP for COVID.
