Global USA Surges continue: Great Great Fireside Chat with Sharon Lewin et al (Peter Doherty) at Melbourne, Australia. Sharon said that I am a “household name” in Australia. The Australians had zero new infections in the entire city of Melbourne yesterday proving that pure public health measures such a mandatory mask wearing ($1000.00 fine) and avoiding crowds actually works. Alyssa Farah and Roma Daravi (White House comms) are continuing to jerk me around regarding clearances for TV requests. I get 20 requests and they ignore them. We complain, and then Alyssa says that she has no problem with any of them. “Go ahead and work with Roma to schedule”. Roma gives us one or two and then we do not hear from them (ignore us) for another week. All the while they are approving Azar and other docs on the task force (Hahn, Redfield, Adams, etc.) Clearly, they do not want me on Major TV, but are afraid to admit it. This must be pointed out in the book! PRESS: WAMU podcast with Diane Rehm; Carnegie Endowment for International Peace – Fireside Chat; Rolling Stone Interview with Jeff Goodell
