Global – 1,300,000/73,000; USA – 398,000/13,000 As we predicted, yesterday was the most deaths in single day in USA. However, indications from NYC aree that cases, hospitalizations, intensive care and intubations have been down for past few days. Remember – deaths always lag by about 2 weeks behind new cases. Could be first clear sign of turnaround. Now focusing on how to “re-open” the country safely (see meeting last night) Bobblehead raising money: Fauci bobblehead raises $100,000 for American Hospital Association Growing concern about fact that African-Americans are dying much more than other racial/ethnic groups. Certainly due largely to the increase in underlying conditions among them such as hypertension, diabetes, obesity, asthma PRESS: FOX TV – America’s Newsroom; Eric Bolling Sinclair TV; White House Press Conference.

Fauci, who has been frustrated in his efforts to get through to Trump, compared the global pandemic to an inspector general while in a closed-door meeting with the President on Wednesday. “What do you hate more than anything, Mr. President?” Fauci asked. “Jim Acosta,” Trump immediately replied. “O.K., fine. But, besides Jim Acosta,” Fauci said, “it would be an inspector general, right?” “You’re right, Tony,” Trump agreed. “I hate those losers.” “Well, think of COVID-19 as the worst inspector general in the world,” Fauci continued. “It’s overseeing everything you do and making you follow the law. It’s keeping you from spending taxpayer money on anything you want. You wouldn’t stand for that, would you?” Reportedly, Trump appeared shaken by Fauci’s analogy. “Damn it, Tony, when you put it that way, we’ve got to do something about COVID-19,” he said. Speaking to reporters, Fauci said that he was “cautiously optimistic” that his inspectorgeneral analogy would finally spur Trump to action, but added, “Jared could still screw this up.” ……………………………………………………………………………………….
