Also, to hold a conventin event directly at the White House is a gross violation of the Hatch Act. Concern now about post-labor day (coming up) surge of cases as people congregate. Spoke with Joan Baez today - She wants to use the portrait of me to advertise the need for science and adhering to public health messages. In essence, she wants to use the portrait in PSAs. She really is wonderful.

August 31, 2020 - Global USA Trump stoking violence (racial tensions) in Kenosha, WI and Portland, OR QAnon misrepresenting data from CDC that says that about 9000 out of the >180,000 deaths reported for COVID-19 had only COVID-19 on the death certificate. The remainder also had other underlying conditions. QAnon is saying that all the other deaths had nothing to do with COVID-19. The POTUS loves this and is tweeting that Fauci and Birx shut down the country for only 9000 deaths.

Second round of cases beginning to drive increase in fatalities Most Universities do not have adequate plans in place to either control their outbreaks, prevent spread into the local communities or spread to hometowns despite raising this issue for weeks with University Presidents and Governors. Governor's report including specific recommendations this Monday and we continue to engage during the State trips. Ensuring control of the University infections and isolation and care on campus and ensure spread does not move into the local communities or to hometowns and trigger another Phase of extensive community spread is critical. Stopping the spread into the community and isolation is impossible without identifying asymptomatic cases Another inappropriate explosion by Mark Meadows. The NUH Treatment Guidelines came out in response to the EUA for convalescent plasma (CP). It just repeated what it had said before saying that there was not sufficient evidence for or against the use of CP and that clinical trials should continue. In essence, this is what the EUA said. However, the press went nuts saying that NIH contradicted the FDA and the POTUS who said that CP was a "major historic breakthrough". In fact, the EUA and the Guidelines were aligned. It was the POTUS, AZAR, and Hahn who over-exaggerated. In any event, Meadows called up Francis Collins and started screaming saying that he needs to "fix this". Meadows said until he does, Fauci and you will not get in front of a TV screen "even for a podcast with a 3rd grader". Francis sent out a tweet to explain that there was no difference between the EUA and the Guidelines and Meadows was satisfied. Another day in Paradise.....
