Global – 45,400,000/1,200,000; USA – 9,020,000/229,100 Surging continues to accelerate 3 days before the election. Trump out on campaign trail with big crowds, many who do not wear masks. Almost at the 100,000 per day level that I predicted at the Senate Hearing a few months ago: Tonight, I virtually received the Leonardo da Vinci Award of the National Italian American Foundation at their Virtual Gala online from 6:30 PM to 8:30 PM. Hosted by Pat Harrison, Joe Piscopo and Maria Bartiromo. There was a wonderful series of testimonials to me from an amazing group of people: Robert DeNiro, Al Pacino, Leonardo DiCaprio, Francis Ford Copolla, President George W. Bush, Bono, John Turturro, Neil Sedaka, Dion DiMucci wrote and sang a song to me, Maria Tomei (she also grew upon Bensonhurst and commented about that), Isabella Rossilini, Mike Piazza, among many others. Very moving and humbling PRESS: ONLINE version of Washington Post article came out this evening (se below). Firestorm started. Apparently, the Post called the White House to inform them of my “negative towards the WH” interview. Mark Meadows called Collins (supposedly he tried to contact me but told Francis I did not answer my phone. He likely called my office phone that I no longer answer). He yelled at Francis saying that he has not seen the article yet but he has heard that I solicited an interview with the Post and did so without clearance. Francis called me and ascertained that in fact they called me and I did get clearance. See below (Sunday).

at 7:00 p.m. EDT President Trump’s repeated assertions the United States is “rounding the turn” on the novel coronavirus have increasingly alarmed the government's top health experts, who say the country is heading into a long and potentially deadly winter with an unprepared government unwilling to make tough choices.
