Global – 7,700,000/428,000 USA – 2,100,000/116,000;

Governor’s call today at WH and I was not invited.

BARDA requesting FDA to pull back the EUA for Hydroxychloroquine and
Chloroquine, I was always against the EUA for HC and Ch since I did not believe that it
fulfilled the criteria (some indication of efficacy) for an EUA: see link below. Also, this
is the issue that Rick Bright has blown the whistle on, i.e. saying that he was pressured
into recommending to FDA (when he was head of BARDA) to issue the EUA.

Got call from Michael Caputo today asking if I thought that the POTUIS should cancel
his campaign rally. I told him definitely yes.

Call from Jeremy Berg at Pitt sending me as Cell Host & Microbe by a Chinese group
Shi-Hui Sun et al: A mouse model of SARS-CoV-2 Infections and Pathogenesis. 28: 1-
10, July 8, 2020 (Online first) indicating that the Chinese were making CRISPR.Cas9
knockin mice for ACE-2 that were made 30 weeks ago, which would be August, 2019.
Why would they be doing that last summer??? They could have been studying SARS,
but they already had mouse models. Possible they just wanted to use a better technique
(CRISPR) OR they knew that SARS-CoV-2 already existed and the outbreak was already
ongoing.

Spoke with Howard Zucker, Commissioner of Health for NY State. He wanted advice
about a possible National Policy for opening up universities. I referred him to CDC, but
also to Silvia Burwell to see what she is doing with AU.

PRESS: NEJM Poodcast about our HIV paper in the series for the 50th
Anniversary of NAM;
