Amazing Day – We were supposed to have a routine TF meeting today. We were
waiting in the Sit Room for a 3:00 PM start and the VP was late at 3:15 PM. Marc Short
then came in and said that the POTUS wanted some of us ogo to the Oval Office. We
we got there, the entire senior staff was there (everyone). The VP sat the following
around the Resolute Desk – me, Deb, Redfield, Giroir, Azar. The POTUS then started
eyeing and throwing around the Fuck word: “What the fuck are you people doing? Deb
you are saying that the pandemic is now in the rural areas. First the cities, now the rural
areas. Where is it now. I am saying we have it under control and you say it is
everywhere. Tony, you are always contradicting me. Giroir, you say HC does not work
(he said this on SOTU on Sunday). I took it and many good doctors swear by it.The whs

fucking message. You need to be positive”. Then he started raving that we are seeing
more cases only because we are doing more testing. The other countries look good
because thery are not testing. At that point, Kellyanne Conway took over and made the
point that we can say what we feel is correct, but if it contradicts the pOTUS, they need
to hear about it in the Oval or Sit Rooms and not hear about it for the first time on TV.
Everyone remained silent. At that point I gifures enough is enough. I said: “Okay Mr.
president. We are now in the Oval office and so you need to hear it diretly from me.
Increased testing does not cause cases. When you increase testing you will of cours pick
up asynptomatics whm you might otherwise not notice. However, when you have
increased percent positives and increased hospitalization, and increased deaths, that
means that there are truly more cases. He then changed the subject and started talking
about the fact that deaths are down. After I broke the ice, then Deb, Redfield, and Giroir
chipped in. All in all it was a manifestation that he is desparate and still does not
understand the pandemic. Very interesting encounter.

After that we went to the Doctors Huddle with Brad Smith and Adam Boehler to talk
about tesing and schools. More later.
