Global -- Important meeting at Task Force - Trump has brought in a Dr. Scott Atlas, a radiation oncologist from Stanford Hoover Institute. He is a FOX News Commentator and Trump has seen him on FOX. He is against everything we are saying. He wants to open schools in red Zone, feels that children do not get sick (or even transmit when they get infected) and so we should let herd immunity form. He wants to protect the vulnerable but does not realize that we do no do that effectively. He wants to only test symptomatic people. He obviously does not believe in community spread. This is going to be a real problem. The rightwing press is saying that Trup brought him in to counter me and Birx. Atlas now has an office in the EEOB and he is Special Assistant to the POTUS. He is also now a member of the Task Force.
