m Post Correire Della -19 Global- USA just wants to help the world. I would like to think that he was engendered with that philosophy by the Jesuits. Got call from Chris Wallace at Fox News saying he has been trying to get me on his show for weeks and wanted to know how I was doing. I told him to keep trying and maybe he will get it. Michael Caputo called me and told me that the Comms people in the WH want to keep me off TV until next week because of my message that is contrary to the VP and POTUS - no kidding. OWS meeting today talking about modelling where the infections are going to surge for the vaccine trial. Monsaoui met with Pfizer who said that would sell the vaccine for $100/dose. This is a non-starter. A price should be ~$25/dose. During this emergency, we can take over Pfizer or invoke the Defense Production Act (DFA) and dictate the price, and so we have a "hammer" with them. I have been speaking about the danger of states/cities leap-frogging over the progressive checkpoints in the guidelines to "Open America Again" as well as the danger of those in states who trying to do it right now wearing masks and/or congregating in crowds. And sure enough, we are now having significan increases in cases and hospitalization in FL, TX, AZ, OK. Particukarly problematic in OK where the Trump campaign rally is taking place tomorrow in Tulsa. My comments about the difficulty in getting the football season going this Fall and Winter has been very widely overed in the Sports Press PRESS: McLatchey print interview - Michael Wilner; Washington Post Podcast with Allie Caren; Dan Patrick Sports News - TV; Vice News TV; Correire Della Sera print interview; Financial Times - HIV compared to COVID-19 June 19, 2020 - Global - USA Spoke with Fr. Dan Lahart to give him advice and discussion about whther to open up Regis for the Fall term or do it virtually. I explained that it would depend on the viral dynamics at the time of opening. Their problem is that >95% of the students get to Regis by riding on a subway and so they really have a defined daily risk that would be reflected by the virus activity in the city.
