Spoke on chat with Chiefs of Police and with Presidents of Jesuit Schools (led by Fr. Dan Lahart
of Regis)

Made rounds on COVID-19 patient at Clinical Center. I have been doing this about 1X per
week. Saw patient today with COVID disease - 73 y.o. AA male, ex-marine, ex-State Trooper.
Says this is worse he has ever felt.

   •   My group (Mascola, Graham, Lane, Marston briefed the ART team led by Lu Borio and
       Marcella Nunez-Smith and David Kessler. We spoke about the mutant viruses in UK and
       RSA and their impact on mAbs and vaccines.

         1. There is a significant increase in test positivity rate and a high hospital
             admission rate/case across all age groups
         2. I have included the top 10 states for cases and it is a mix of states that were
             surging prior to the Holidays NY, TX, FL, GA, AZ and states that were improving
             or stabilzing prior to the Holidays CA, PA, OH, IL, NJ and tracking these states
             will be key to estimating the impact of the Holidays on cases and eventually
             hospitalizations
The Fall surge in the Northern Plain states was more aggressive and we warned if this type
of surge hit populous states this would threaten the health care system – this is what we
are seeing in CA and to be clear this is spreading across the Sunbelt and into the North East.

       Trump incites riot as protestors storm the Capitol, break windows and occupy
       Pelosi’s office. Capitol Police utter failure to control them. Democrats take both
       Senate seats in Georgia Election - Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock.
       Biden electoral votes certified by Joint Session of Congress. Sens. Hawley and Cruz
       fight to the bitter end to their shame. Several senators who originally had
       supported the attempt to overthrow the election have changed their mind because of
       the shock of the storming of the Capitol
