Cases continue to soar. BIG DAY AT WHITE
HOUSE Spent several hours with the POTUS. Bottom line. Deb and I pushed
hard to have the POTUS extend the 15 day guidelines for another 30 days to end
of April even though Mark Meadows and Kevin Hassett were against this. They
wanted to just go to 15 days extra and then re-evaluate. We pushed and said that
we would leave to the POTUS.

We met with the POTUS in OVAL and Deb and I presented the case for 30 days.
He accepted that right away (he really trusts me very much). He decided that he
did not want to wait three days to Tuesday to announce and so we Chaotically and
quickly wrote into his speech the announcement that it would be 30 days. We had
a press conference in the Rose Garden (RG) and he called several times of me and
Deb to explain the rationale behind the decision. It was another of the painfully
rambling press conferences that lasted on a beautiful evening the RG for 2 hours.
POTUS kept on mentioning the potential 1.5 to 2.0 million deaths in the USA due
to Coronavirus, which is actually the worst case scenario of a flawed model;
however, he felt that if he keeps mentioning that, then the people will take what
we are saying seriously. He is incorrigible. At the end of the day it was a good
outcome since we convinced him to go with 30 day instead of ending the
mitigation prematurely, which I feel would be a disaster. At the presser, I
emphasized that we must pay attention to the cities/states/areas with relatively few
cases since they could explode just like NYC and NOLA and other cities.

CRAZY PRESS – the fringe far-right crazies are cooking conspiracy theories that
I am a Hilary Clinton mole trying to destroy Trump. See NY Times – Sunday
