Global – 10,000,000/500; USA – 2,600,000/127,000. 37,000 cases
yesterday. Multiple other states (total of 31) are showing increased cases and several
showing increased hospitalizations.

Testified at the Senate HELP Hearing chaired by Lamar Alexander (R-TN) and
ranking minority Patty Murray (D-WS). Focus was on opening schools, but it became
free-wheeling. Elizabeth Warren was her usual muted hostility towards me, probably
since she is aiming to by Biden’s VP and she wants to she she is tough on administration.
Also, Rand Paul was his usual self obliquely accusing me of arrogance and conceit in
making projections without data. He referred to my discussing whether Sports could
open. Actually my responses won him over and he gave me a big wave and smile when
he left the hearing room. Rest of the hearing went very well. I predicted that if we do
not do something about the recent surge that the entire country is in danger and we could
reach 100,000 cases in a single day. This made NY Times immediately online. I said
“Bars are bad news”. Outdoors better than indoors.

In a speech today, Joe Biden said that if he is elected POTUS one of the first things he
would do in addressing COVID-19 is to reah out to me and ask me to continue my
leadership role in this effort and “join his administration”. Clearly, this will piss off
Trump and the White House.

PRESS: Much media coverage of the Hearing today.
