    September 1, 2020 - Global 25,300,000/848,000; USA - 6,000,000/184,000 Did the usual weekly Miami Mayor's call with Deb and Redfield. Mayor Suarez and Major Jimenez USA - 6,000,000/184 ept 2020 Slide Deck organized by states with both red zone test positivity and red zone for cases 5D, OK, $C, 14, NV, ID, AL -- AL and lA have moved into the red zone with rapid rise in test positivity along with SD and OK -- Fatalities increasing in SD, 1A, OK, SC, AL-- hard fought gains are being lost in SC and AL with continued now community spread from univeristies Significant rise in test positivity in 19-25 year olds -- similar rate of rise scene in June that triggered the Southern epidemic Stalling of case declines and test positivity due to new outbreaks noted above. 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.....
