FAUCI DIARY ARCHIVE — Sunday, October 4, 2020 https://faucisdiary.com/diary/2020-10-04 Text below is verbatim from the released PDFs, with the original line breaks. ============================================================================== DIARY ENTRY — Sunday, October 4, 2020 Source: Tony's Diary Package, pp. 380–382 of 2026.07.24_Tonys-Diary-Package.pdf Words: 454 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Global USA Still confusion about condition of POTUS. He came on TV last night wearing a blue suit with no tie saying that he felt fine and will be in hospital for a few days Mark Meadows called my cell while I was walking on the C & O Canal at around 8:30 AM to ask my advice about when the POTUS could go out publicly again. I mentioned that the CDC guidelines say 10 days from the onset of sxs. His sxs started Thrusday, Oct. 1 and so 10 days would be Saturday, Oct.10. Mark told me that on Friday his temp was 103 and his O2 sat was in the 80s. That triggered the Remdesivir. Today (Sunday) he is up and about in his room and is afebrile. O2 sat is improved and he feels much better. I told Mark to send the POTUS my best wishes. At least seven people besides the president who were there (the Amy Coney Barret event in the Rose Garden) have tested positive in recent days: first lady Melania Trump, former White House adviser Kellyanne Conway, former New Jersey governor Chris Christie (R), University of Notre Dame President John Jenkins, Sens. Mike Lee (R-Utah) and Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) and an unnamed journalist. Contacted by Sean Conley. Got together by conference call with Walter Reed medical team plus Cliff Lane plus Bob Redfield to discuss course of POTUS infection. Also, discussed possibility of getting infected high level officials out in public with some sort of “filtering device” while they are still infected as opposed to waiting 10 days. I told them that this would create a firestorm of pushback from the press since it would be breaking all the CDC guidelines. I suggested that they might use the 2 negative PCRs over 24 hours as opposed to the 10 day from onset of sxs rule. Sean said that they gave the POTUS dexamethasone since his O2 level dropped into the 80s, but he bounced back quickly with O2 administration. They started dex just as a precaution. White House comms (including Alyssa) as well as Sean giving confusing messages to the public about the POTUS health. Mark Meadows was honest and said that his situation was precarious requiring O2 on Friday night and the POTUS got angry with Mark sine he did not show a happy face. Sean was obviously intimidated by POTUS and so he sugar-coated the briefing. Bottom line is that POTUS is doing rather well. He had a limo drive him up and down Rockville Pike waving to the crowds of supporters. He wore a cloth mask instead of a N95 and press criticized him for endangering the Secret Service who were in the car.
