I continue to be kept out of the classic press but am getting in through indirect
ways. Still have >1000 deaths per day. Scott Atlas now the main person that
Trump listens to. I have reached out to Scott to give him a fair chance to explain
to me exactly how he feels about children getting infected and the issues with
letting community spread happen. We obviously differ here. He and White
House feel that we can let children get infected in schools since they do not get
sick and we just need to protect the vulnerable in Nursing Homes. Fallacious
thinking since there are many not in Nursing Homes who are vulnerable such as
obese people, diabetics, hypertensives, etc. ALSO, many reports coming out now
about long term cardiovascular and brain effects in younger people who were not

even sick enough to go to the hospital, and who were merely home in bed for a
couple of weeks. ALSO, more younger people dying.

Of note, I was the only one of the Doctors in the TF who was noit invited to be
present in the Sit Room for the Governors’s call today.

Joan Baez texted me saying that she now has 3,000,000 views on her Face Book
note to me. Her comment was: “Over three million views. Is this fun or what?”
