Phone call with Sen. Richard Burr (R-NC) about “after action” evaluation of our
response.

Big controversy when the WHO’s Maria Van Kerkhove said that transmission
from asymptomatic person was “very rare”. She got blasted for this since there was no
data to indicate this. We feel that there is substantial transmission since asytmptomatics
have equivalent viral load in nasopharynx as do people with Sxs. Also data from Teddy
Roosevelt aircraft carrier and prisons and nursing homes and meat packing plants indicate
that transmission occurs a lot from asymptomatics.

 Lovely “thank you” by the Weill Cornell Medicinegraduating students for my sending
them a video brief “Commencement Address” for their “virtual graduation”.

Several state are showing increases in number of cases and % of tests that are positive.
Coud be the beginning of a rebound. NYC has opened as had DC. Other states getting
“itchy” to open. Major sentiment to move forward. We will soon face the problem that
if we see blips that are not contained by contact tracing, will the administration say damn
the torpedoes, full speed ahead or will they pull bak. I suspect the former.

Weill Cornell Medicine Student Thank you Video
