76,775/2247. 1st patient to die from being on Diamond Princess. Had intense “Table Top”=like exercise with the WHTF in the Situation Room
from 3:00to 5:00 PM. Discussed the plans and triggers of going from
containment to mitigation. Lots of good discussion. Led by Mick Mulvaney.
CNBC interview wa slightly hostile questioning the “controversial” decision of putting the infected evacuees from the Diamond Princess on the plane back to USA. After my explanation and after I was off the air, Mike Osterholm and Scott Gottlieb got on and starting spewing forth about the idea that we might be missing people in the UA who are infected. The hosts seemed to be pitting me against them. Typical media
